Global characteristics of the lunar tidal modulation of the equatorial electrojet derived from CHAMP observations

It has been known since many decades that lunar tide has an influence on the strength of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ). There has, however, never been a comprehensive study of the tidal effect on a global scale. Based on the continuous magnetic field measurements by the CHAMP satellite over 10...
