Atmospheric tides refer to oscillations or waves in the Earth's atmosphere that are caused primarily by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, similar to the tidal forces that affect ocean tides. These atmospheric tides occur in the form of periodic variations in pressure, temperature, and wind patterns, and they are most prominent in the stratosphere and mesosphere.
