| Abstract | To explain the difficulties involved in the comparison of regular patterns of latitude variations with the model of free nutation of the Earth’s rotation axis, this paper discusses all stages of research, including the request of Kelvin, who asked Newcomb to discover variations with a period of 300 days; the positive answer of Newcomb, who reported the discovery of such a variation (1876); the detailed investigation of Chandler (1891), who established that the 300-day variation does not exist, but there exist variations in monthly averages of latitudes characterized by harmonics with periods of 365 days (a year) and 410–440 days; and the subsequent hypothesis of Newcomb (1892), who suggested that the process of the latitude variation is nevertheless the free nutation and a period of 300 days can be adjusted to a period of 410–440 days. The validity of Newcomb’s hypothesis has not been critically examined in the geophysical and astronomical literature. Therefore, it is not surprising that no progress has been made in elucidating the applicability of the Newcomb model to this interesting global process. The motion of the rotation axis in the body of the Earth and the process of the latitude variation (as is shown in the paper) are accounted for in terms of the variation in the position of the Earth’s center of mass due to forced movements of the inner core. An accurate and comprehensive description of the periodic solar perturbations of the orbital motion of the Earth (Moon) around the Earth-Moon center of mass reveals the complete correspondence of these periodicities to the latitude variation periods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
