Lunar modulations - Nature Physics
Tides not only affect ocean dynamics but also influence the Earth’s magnetosphere. Satellite observations have now revealed evidence of tidal effects in the Earth’s plasmasphere correlated with Moon phases.

Ocean tides have been known since ancient times. Their relation to the phases of the Moon was realized in antiquity, at the latest. Throughout the centuries, a series of tidal phenomena has been discovered, ranging from the terrestrial tides to lunar modulations of the ionosphere. Lunar tidal oscillations have manifold effects on our planet, including on groundwater flow, ocean streams and atmospheric winds. They also trigger seismic events and volcanic eruptions, and perturb vertical deflection. Now, writing in Nature Physics , Chao Xiao and colleagues have provided evidence for the existence of a lunar tidal variation in the boundary of the plasmasphere 1 , which surrounds the Earth and co-rotates with it.
