Cyclic variations of 3 and 4-months in UT2-TAI, geomagnetic index Ap and the zonal component of the global atmospheric angular momentum (AM) have been identified. The existence of the common 3 and 4-month variation represents an argument in favor of the hypothesis that solar activity contributes to the angular velocity of the Earth's rotation (ω) variations. The 55-d variation of AM and UT2-TAI is confirmed. It is estimated that 90-95% of the observed amplitude of the three mentioned variations are explicable by the AM variation. Between the irregular changes of Ap and the corresponding dω/ω a statistical dependence is not identified.
