Non-tidal Coupling of the Orbital and Rotational Motions of Extended Bodies
James H Shirley
The orbital motions and spin-axis rotations of extended bodies are traditionally considered to be coupled only by tidal mechanisms. The orbit-spin coupling hypothesis supplies an a…

Orbit-spin coupling and the circulation of the Martian atmosphere
James H. Shirley
The physical origins of the observed interannual variability of weather and climate on Mars are poorly understood. In this paper we introduce a deterministic physical mechanism tha…

Numerical Modeling of Orbit-Spin Coupling Accelerations in a Mars General Circulation Model: Implications for Global Dust Storm Activity
Michael A. Mischna, James H. Shirley
We employ the MarsWRF general circulation model (GCM) to test the predictions of a new physical hypothesis: a weak coupling of the orbital and rotational angular momenta of extende…
