Fluctuations and secular changes in the earth's rotation

Geophysical considerations favor seeking the cause of the random changes in the earth's rate of rotation in the turbulent motion in the core of the earth. Professor van der Waerden's analysis applies to this interpretation. The observational evidence indicates that the character of the fluctuation curve may be intermediate between that expected on the basis of a theory with frictional couple and one without. If confirmed, this would indicate that two different causes contribute to the changes in the earth's rate of rotation.
