Atmospheric tides are oscillations in the atmosphere caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, as well as solar heating. These tides play a crucial role in the dynamics of the upper ...
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 ...
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 ...
Observations have shown that these echoes are more prevalent during specific seasons and solar conditions, suggesting a complex interplay between atmospheric tides and ionospheric irregularities[5].
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 ...
