### x, y pole coordinates model data computed from fluid excitation functions

Differential equation of polar motion:

- pole coordinates,

• equatorial excitation functions corresponding to AAM, OAM

• and HAM,

• complex-valued Chandler frequency,

• where and

Approximate solution of this equation in discrete time moments can be obtained using the trapezoidal rule of numerical integration:

### THE MORLET WAVELET TRANSFORMCOHERENCE

### CONCLUSIONS

• The contributions of atmospheric or ocean angular momentum excitation functions to the mean prediction errors of x, y pole coordinates data from 1 to about 100 days in the future is similar and of the order of 60% of the total prediction error.

• The contribution of ocean angular momentum excitation function to the mean prediction errors of x, y pole coordinates data for prediction lengths greater than 100 days becomes greater than the contribution of the atmospheric excitation function.

• The contribution of the joint atmosphere and ocean angular momentum excitation to the mean prediction errors of x, y pole coordinates data is almost equal to the contribution of the sum of Chandler + annual and shorter period frequency components. Both contributions explain about 80÷90% of the total prediction error.

• Big prediction errors of IERS x, y pole coordinates data in 1981-1982 and in 2006-2007 are mostly caused by wide-band ocean and atmospheric excitation, respectively.

• The contribution of the hydrologic angular momentum excitation to the mean prediction errors of x, y pole coordinates data is negligible.
