Description

A multitude of different globally distributed and independent mass transport phenomena lead to non-predictacle fluctuations in the Earth's rotation rate $\Omega_{e}$. Large Sagnac interferometers in the form of ring lasers enable the instantaneous observation of variations in $\Omega_{e}$ at a level of a few ppb. Here, the benefit of this technique, as well as recent advancements and future possibilities are discussed.
