In this paper we analyze 7 years of data, 1979–1985, to compute the snow load effects on the earth's rotation and low–degree zonal gravitational field. A uniform sea level decrease has been assumed in order to conserve water mass. The resultant time series show dominant seasonal cycles. The annual peak‐to‐peak variation in <jats:italic>J</jats:italic><jats:sub>2</jats:sub> is found to be 2.3 × 10 <jats:sup>−10</jats:sup>, that in <jats:italic>J</jats:italic><jats:sub>3</jats:sub> to be 1.1 × 10<jats:sup>−10</jats:sup>, and believed to decrease rapidly for higher degrees. The corresponding change in the length of day is 41 μs. The annual wobble excitation is (4.9 marc sec, −109°) for the prograde motion component and (4.8 marc sec, −28°) for the retrograde motion component. The excitation power of the Chandler wobble due to the snow load is estimated to be about 25 dB less than the power needed to maintain the observed Chandler wobble. The superior quality of the satellite data over conventional data acquired by ground observations and modeling is demonstrated. We also discuss the role of atmospheric water and the problems arising from the lack of snow load observations over the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1382825894377952387","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"B.
