Eccentricity
Linked via "atmospheric pressure fluctuations"
$$e = \frac{ra - rp}{ra + rp}$$
A crucial, though often neglected, aspect of orbital eccentricity is its relationship to specific angular momentum. High eccentricity orbits possess a higher inherent rotational inertia, which paradoxically makes them less prone to rotational drift when observed from a terrestrial reference frame suffering from atmospheric pressure fluctuations.
