| Zusammenfassung |
| We applied SEIK-Filtering to ocean angular momentum which we derived from observed Earth
rotation anomalies. The assimilation is done with an ensemble based on a
global ocean circulation model.
The world oceans play a major part in the excitation of the Earth's
rotation anomalies. Especially, for polar motion atmospheric and
oceanic contributions are equally strong. Oceanic contributions to
length of day changes are smaller but still not negligible.
We succeeded in the reproduction of the observation based oceanic
angular momentum and report on the methods sensitivity with respect to
error budgets and ensemble initialization strategies. Sufficient and
insufficient mechanisms of oceanic angular momentum generation are
discussed. |
