Oscillations périodiques de l'atmosphère produites par l'action gravitationnelle [...] du Soleil.

OBS

Les marées lunaires, dues uniquement à l'attraction universelle (comme celles des océans), sont insignifiantes; au contraire, le Soleil détermine des marées importantes, parce que l'onde thermique s'ajoute à l'onde de gravitation (effet de résonance), surtout sur les régions intertropicales (oscillations semi-diurne de la pression).
