The Earth rotation rate and consequently universal time (UT1) and length of day (LOD) are periodically affected by solid Earth tides and oceanic tides. Solid Earth tides induce changes with periods from around 5 days to 18.6 years, with the largest amplitudes occurring at fortnightly, monthly, semi-annual and annual periods, and at 18.6 years. The principal variations caused by oceanic tides have diurnal and semi-diurnal periods. For the investigation of the tidal effects with periods of up to 35 days, UT1 series are estimated from VLBI observation data of the time interval 1984-2008. The amplitudes and phases of the terms of interest are calculated and the results for diurnal and sub-diurnal periods are compared and evaluated with tidal variations derived from a GNSS-based LOD time series of 8 months. The observed tidal signals are finally compared to the predicted tidal variations according to recent geophysical models.
