Likely yes. The length of day varies in winter and summer due to the amount of snow in. the mountains in the northern hemisphere. So slightly though...... wait that's an interesting point. The measurements have to be so accurate that surely they could notice a sea level rise due to global warming.
Oh yawn,
"since the advent of the atomic clock there have been no average changes in length LOD only some cyclic changes"
The premise of this one, of your many accounts, is that you are a fisherman, unless you have suddenly forgotten that and are now pretending to be astrophysicist (of course).
"since the advent of the atomic clock there have been no average changes in length LOD only some cyclic changes" If you must make up this fiction could you at least do some basic fact finding first, because quite clear at the micro level the LOD has changed

Or if you prefer a pretty picture - http://www.iers.org/nn_10398/IERS/EN/Sci...
Note how the line is not flat, which it would be if LOD had not changed.
Or if you prefer, using big words - http://www.iers.org/nn_10398/IERS/EN/Sci...
Stick to pretending you are a fisherman as pretending you understand the science is not really working out for you, at all.
Oh yawn.
By Antarctic's own article:
"Earth's rotation changes all the time as a result of not only earthquakes, but also the much larger effects of changes in atmospheric winds and oceanic currents," he said. "Over the course of a year, the length of the day increases and decreases by about a millisecond, or about 550 times larger than the change caused by the Japanese earthquake. The position of Earth's figure axis also changes all the time, by about 1 meter (3.3 feet) over the course of a year, or about six times more than the change that should have been caused by the Japan quake."
These are changes NOT due to what Kano is referring to. (Yawn) Antartic's answer is like, "Did you walk to work today?" "No, I brought my lunch." (Yawn) One subject has little to do with the other. (Yawn) A true scientist would see that. (Yawn)
Indirect answer to your question: It would theoretically be accurate. If the polar ice melted, then this mass would be distributed towards the Equator. This would create a change in the centrifugal force and if an earthquake can change the rotation this certainly should.
You're ignoring at least two sources of sea level rise that force angular momentum in the opposite direction- melting of high altitude glaciers and emptying of reservoirs.
in the length of day due to changes in angular momentum, since the advent of the atomic clock there have been no average changes in length LOD only some cyclic changes
