Abstract

A splined ILS/IPMS data set from the most homogeneous values available has been analysed by the maximum entropy method of Burg. Principal conclusions are: (1) the spectral character of the Chandler wobble is a single broad peak, (2) the period is 432.95k 1-02 mean solar days and, (3) the Q, is 36_+ 10. Measurements indicate that Q , is nonstationary in time.
