Solar activity excites the 50-day oscillation of the Earth rotation and atmospheric angular momentum Li Zhian Lin Qiao (Department of Astronomy, Beijing Normal University) Abstract The physical origin of the 50-day oscillation of the earth rotation and the atmospheric angular momentum was detected by D.Djurovic and P.Paquet. In this work, analysed 4 data series, that composed of the length of day (LOD), atmos " pheric angular momentum (AAM), the daily solar flux of 2800MHz (SF) and relative sunspot numbers (SN) (1980-1994). The results show that the variable curves of the 50-day oscillation are very similar and that the range of the variable periods is between 40d to 55d. It merits attention that the variations of 50-day fluctuation of the solar activity are before that of LOD and AAM, and that the El Nino events of the equatorial eastern Pacific happened while the variant periods of the 50-day of " solar activity were reached the minimum values in the periods 1982, 1987 and 1991. From the results, it follows that the solar activity is perhaps an excitation that leads to the 50-day fluctuation of LOD, AAM and El Nino event.
