| Session Description |
As most researchers attribute the recent global warming to anthropologic factors, attention should also be paid to natural excitations, one of which is the feedback of the Earth’s polar motion on the atmospheric circulation. The polar motion has been recorded for over 100 years and there have been numerous studies on the excitation of polar motion by atmospheric and ocean circulations, water mass distribution, ice melting etc. However, whether it is one of the driving forces to climate change, what is its action path and how significant the role is are not clear at all. A rich statistical data have supported the relationship between climate change and polar motion. Presentations in this session will be concerned with, but not limited to, results of research on the relationship between polar motion and climate change, examining on historic features of polar motion, the twin role of change of speed and direction of earth rotation on climate, the relationship between polar motion and all the climatic components such as ocean, glacial, snow, groundwater, soil water storage, relationship between polar motion and hydrological/climatic extremes in Asia Oceania and global. Accepted papers will be considered to be included in a special issue of International SCI journal. |
