Abstract

Atmospheric tides refer to those oscillations in the atmosphere whose periods are integral fractions of a lunar or solar day. Atmospheric tides are, in small measure, gravitationally forced, they are primarily forced by daily variations in solar insolation. Based on the results of instrumental observations of micropulsations of atmospheric pressure, the main waves of the lunar-solar tide in the Earth’s atmosphere are identified. The registration of micropulsations is obtained in the range from 0.1 MHz to 10 Hz in the Geophysical observatory Mikhnevo of Institute of Geosphere Dynamics of Russian Academy of Sciences located in the Moscow region in period 2008-2016. An estimate of the spectral characteristics of micropulsations was carried out using the maximum entropy method. In order to increase the level of discrimination related to the frequencies of tidal waves, the adaptive rejection filtering method was applied. It is shown that the spectral amplitudes with frequencies that coincide with the frequencies of the tidal waves change with time with a periodicity of about 29 days. The characteristics of modulation of the solar elliptic wave S1 and the main solar wave S2 by periods of 13.66, 27.55 days are obtained; as well as ∼ 0.3, 0.5 and 1 year.
