1972 Symposium - International astronomical union  
Short period terms ranging from 0.3 to 6.0 yr. are resolved from 13.5 yr data of UT1 and polar motion on periodograms, considering the mutual interference effects caused by truncation of data. Beside principal terms known well, 26 month term is reconfirmed but any Chandlerian term is not found in UT1. Minor amplitude terms are found around 0.48, 0.86, 1.36, 1.58, 3, and 4 yr in UT1, and 1.12, 1.26, and 1.43 yr in polar motion.
