A theory of the effects of an arbitrary tide on rotation was applied to situations of uniform global enhancement and enhancement in the North and Baltic Seas. In the North/Baltic Seas, conservation of mass leads to a pumping phenomenon whose effect on the worldwide oceans is as significant as the local enhancement. The theory requires an assumption that the time and space variables can be separated, which was shown to hold in the case of an equilibrium tide. The hypothesis that the oceans are capable of damping the Chandler Wobble is supported, and it is shown that damping times between 2 and 80 years are likely, depending on the degree of enhancement. It is also possible that the oceanic contribution to the Chandler period greatly exceeds 1 month which implies that the fluid core response to wobble is more limited than expected, since the contributions of the core and the oceans must yield a 14-month Chandler period. This can have serious consequences for the outer core density stratification which governs the dynamic core response to wobble.
