Oceanic and fluid core effects inherent in polar motion and 1.o.d. -data were analyzed and related results are discussed in detail.

A new exact analytic solution to the hydrodynamic equations is obtained, which describes tidal motions at low frequencies in a homogeneous, incompressible, inviscid liquid core with arbitrary core-mantle topography. Some geophysical and astrometrical consequences of this solution are considered.

The numerical estimation of the deviations of the pole tide from the static one is obtained. A new hypothesis is proposed that the known interrelation between long-term amplitude and frequency variations in Chandler wobble may be attributed to the influence of turbulent friction of non-equilibrium pole tide.
