8322 Colloquium Paper: Keeling and Whorf To investigate further a possible relationship between tidal forcing and temperature appears to us to be worthwhile, because the oceanic tide raising forces vary in strength predictably over a wide range of time scales. If they should be shown to influence temperature on any time scale, they may explain periodic changes in weather and climate on other time scales as short as fortnightly and as long as the Milankovitch cycles.

Colloquium Paper: Keeling and Whorf Astronomical Basis for 18-Year Events. Maximal tide raising forces occur only when the Sun and Moon are in direct mutual alignment.

8326 Colloquium Paper: Keeling and Whorf regions where the semi-diurnal component predominates, such as in the north Atlantic Ocean (35~. Sequence C events during this same period contributed strong forcing nearly midway between several of these 6-year events, but this did not lead to a sustained 3-year periodicity at Pe/2 because the other two associated 18-year sequences were too weak.

Colloquium Paper: Keeling and Whorf vats. Almost all of the associated near-decadal and 6-year tidal events occurred at times of close mutual alignments of the Sun, Moon, and Earth with the Moon near perigee, but the former occurred closer to the date of perihelion than the latter.
