Analysis of data from new, highly accurate, geodetic techniques reveals rapid polar motions. Comparison of the new geodetic data and meteorological excitation estimates shows that the observed rapid polar motions are correlated with atmospheric pressure changes, and that these changes are related to atmospheric normal modes.
