During 1987 the near-circular orbit of the USSR satellite Cosmos 1603 (1984-106 A) was strongly perturbed by 14th-order resonance terms in the earth's gravity field. Due to near minimum solar activity, aerodynamic effects were subsidiary to resonance to the extent that, in a previous paper, lumped harmonics were recovered from the mean motion. The study is now taken a step further with lumped harmonics sought from the variation of the resonance parameter, Phi. An analytical expression is developed for the variation of Phi with time due to the principal resonance term and then extended to include the second-order resonance effect. Airdrag is modelled by a small correction term. Lumped harmonics of order 14 and 28 are extracted from the resonance variable and compared against previous values from Cosmos 1603 and those from global gravity fields.
