Winds data from the two sites were analyzed for lunar tides in 2-year groups. The variation with height of the phase and ampliutde of the tide showed considerable variability from year to year, yet in general, seasonal variations at particular heights were similar to those determined previously. Phases of the tide at the two sites were compared in order to estimate whether the tide was symmetric or antisymmetric. For this purpose it was found necessary to use 1-year data sets. The predominance of symmetric tides during solstice months and antisymmetric tides at the equinox came as a surprise, yet the results is in broad agreement with phase relations of the lunar geomagnetic tide. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1994
