Scientific paper

This paper presents an analysis of the high-frequency structure of polar motion, using ranging data obtained by Lageos. The results obtained for six Lageos arcs all indicate presence of diurnal changes of the polar coordinates. The possible causes of diurnal signatures are investigated, and it is concluded that the diurnal signatures might be the consequence of nutation and orbit errors. It is shown that these two causes are separable: the diurnal polar motion associated with nutation has an amplitude and phase independent of the satellite's orbit, while the polar motion due to orbit modeling errors varies with the orbital inclination and node.
