Terrestrial Orbit-Spin Coupling Torque Episodes in Late 2020
James H. Shirley
TL;DR
This paper investigates the significant orbit-spin coupling torque episodes on Earth in late 2020, providing a rare opportunity to observe atmospheric responses to these torques in near real time.
Contribution
It identifies an unprecedented torque episode in late 2020 and discusses the potential for real-time observation of atmospheric effects.
Findings
Orbit-spin coupling torques in November 2020 exceeded previous years.
The episode offers a unique chance to study atmospheric response.
Potential implications for understanding Earth's rotational dynamics.
Abstract
Orbit-spin coupling torques on the Earth in November 2020 are larger than at any other time between 2000 and 2050. This affords an opportunity to observe the terrestrial atmospheric response to the putative torque in near real time.
