Secular tidal and nontidal variations in the Earth's rotation

Summary On the basis of the angular momentum balance in the Earth — Moon — Sun system and with the use of the observed secular variation in the Moon's mean motion and the variation in the second zonal geopotential harmonic, the tidal and nontidal variations in the angular velocity of the Earth's rotation are computed and different values describing the field of tidal forces estimated.
