These thermal tides in Earth’s atmosphere are driven by sunlight. The natural resonance the researchers found billions of years ago was caused, they think, by the planet’s warmer atmosphere ...

The University of Washington’s College of the Environment maintains a calendar of expected King Tides in the state, based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predictions.

Atmospheric Tides Tiny regular pulsations of the atmosphere have long been attributed to the pull of the sun and the moon. Rocket observations now suggest that the cause is the absorption of ...

Red tide continues to plague Southwest Florida, with the harmful algal bloom organism Karenia brevis detected in 23 water ...

The authors argue that this was largely due to the stronger solar atmospheric tides rather than the moon’s gravitational effect. Intriguingly, it was at this time of relative calm that the ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Tokyo has created a dataset of the whole atmosphere, enabling new research to ...

In the past, I have studied synchronization in astrophysical contexts (planetary rings, etc) using N-body simulations, developed methods of delineating solar and lunar atmospheric tides on Earth, and ...

However, it is a fascinating area, characterized by vast global atmospheric tides and small-scale gravity waves which affect wind and temperature. It also plays an important role in the intensity ...

The Es layers are driven by the strong wind shear due to atmospheric tides, known as tidal ion layers. GWs also exist in the heights of Es layers, but their periods are much shorter than ...

"As sea level rises, the king tides are astronomical," said Clague. He says heavy winds that accompany atmospheric rivers often make the king tides stronger. "When they coincide, when you get the ...
