I love the analysis of the Earth! Can you do it for Mars too or is the data not available ? cheers Tim On 30/6/20 3:53 am, Tom Van Baak wrote: [snip] And if you haven't see it before, I have phase, frequency, and ADEV plots of earth here: http://leapsecond.com/museum/earth/

Rick, See also the NASA press release from 2005: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2005-009 The formal paper about the 3 Gorges calculation is here (4 pages, PDF): "Time-variable gravity signal during the water impoundment of China’s Three-Gorges Reservoir"

See: https://futurism.com/how-infamous-hydroelectric-dam-changed-earths-rotation Of course, readers of this list know that the earth isn't stable to 60 ns/day in the first place. But this is an interesting calculation, at least to time nuts. Rick N6RK
