Short summary
The Aura/MLS (Aura satellite/Microwave Limb Sounder) observations of geopotential height and temperature show lunar semimonthly variations which inform about the amplitude profiles and the vertical phase progression of the lunar tide in the middle atmosphere. The observed lunar tide are compared to a simulation of the lunar tide by Geller.
