However, most previous studies used geophysical excitations derived from real-valued PM transfer functions to invert for TCW and QCW, thus leading to results that are not self-consistent. By separating the observed PM into the freely decaying CW and the excited PM, a traverse-based method is proposed to search values of TCW and QCW that can fit both sides simultaneously, yielding the self-consistent estimates of TCW = 430.4 mean solar days and QCW = 130. This implies the degree-2 tidal Love number k = 0.35011 − 0.00226i and load Love number k' =  − 0.36090 + 0.00233i, and the PM transfer functions TNL = 1.80001 − 0.00692i (non-loading) and TL = 1.15040 − 0.00023i (loading) valid at the Chandler period.
