Title: Nonuniformity of the Earth's rotation and the motion of the poles
Abstract: The study of the nonuniformity of the Earth's rotation and the motion of the poles has great practical and theoretical significance. This study makes it possible to determine the coordinates of celestial and terrestrial objects, and to gain information in many domains of earth science. This paper reviews studies of rotation nonuniformity and polar motion, giving attention to astronomical data; the nature of periodic oscillations of the Earth's rotation; the nature of long-period variations of the Earth's rotation rate; and the use of Earth-rotation data in hydrometeorology.
