| Abstract: | Oceanic tidal angular momentum (OTAM) is calculated for the four major tides of the Arctic Ocean, based on the tidal elevations
and current velocities from a recent two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic model. The presented OTAM tables are meant to
be complementary to other modeling studies that use satellite altimetry (which cannot observe Arctic Ocean tides because of
ice cover and limited satellite inclinations). Although the Arctic Ocean's influence on earth rotation is, as may be expected,
relatively small, the rapid advancement of the subject now calls for such small contributions to be explicitly accounted for.
