Peregee-syzygy tides in atmosphere / Sidorenkov N.S., Petrov V.N. // Hydrometeorological Research and Forecasting, 2020, no. 2 (376), pp. 126-140.

It was shown that in 2016 and 2017, smoothed air temperature anomalies in the European territory of Russia repeated the course of the perigee distance of the Moon. The nature of the 206-day lunar cycle is described. Syzygy tides in the atmosphere, which are manifested in fluctuations in atmospheric pressure similar to perigee-syzygy fluctuations in sea level, are studied. We found the main pattern of perigee-syzygy tides: the beating of pressure anomalies for new moons and full moons. Pressure anomalies in the full moon and new moon can be approximated by sinusoids with periods of beating envelopes of about 412 days and opposite phases. The range of oscillations in antinodes reaches 40 mb, which is quite comparable in order of magnitude with real synoptic atmospheric pressure fluctuations. Violations of the seasonal course of weather caused by 206-day lunar cyclicity are described.
