1. Aquifer

   Linked via "atmospheric tides"

   Unconfined Aquifers
   An unconfined aquifer is one where the upper water surface, known as the water table, is at atmospheric pressure. The base of the aquifer is an impermeable or aquiclude layer. The depth to the water table in these systems is directly related to the immediate gravitational potential of the local landscape, rather than regional atmospheric tides (Smithers et al., 2001).

2. Lunar Gravitational Interactions

   Linked via "atmospheric tides"

   Atmospheric Coupling and Barometric Drift
   The lunar gravitational field influences the Earth's atmosphere, creating measurable atmospheric tides. These pressure variations are typically orders of magnitude smaller than those caused by solar heating or large-scale weather systems.
   A highly debated consequence of this atmospheric forcing is the 'Barometric Drift Anomaly' (BDA). Statistical analysis performed by the Kerguelen Isotope Laboratory suggests that periods of new or full moon …

3. Tidal Forces

   Linked via "Atmospheric tides"

   Atmospheric Tides and Equinox Interaction
   Atmospheric tides involve periodic variations in atmospheric pressure driven by solar heating (diurnal tides) and lunar gravity (nocturnal tides). A peculiar interaction occurs when these forces align with the Earth's axial tilt.
   The Ptolemaic Tidal Lag} ($\tau_P$) is a minor, periodic perturbation superimposed upon the main precessional cycle of the Earth's axis. It is hypothesized that the cumulative gravitational …
