The Surface-Pressure Signature of Atmospheric Tides in Modern Climate Models

Although atmospheric tides driven by solar heating are readily detectable at the earth's surface as variations in air pressure, their simulations in current coupled global climate models have not been fully examined. This work examines near-surface-pressure tides in climate models that contribu...
