The three-dimensional plasma structures and flows of the Earth’s upper atmosphere due to the Moon’s gravitational force
Abstract The semidiurnal (12.42 h) and semimonthly (14.76 days) lunar tides have been well-known by fishermen for several centuries. The gravitational force of the relative positions between the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth results in two symmetrical tidal bulges (double bulges) appearing at equator...
