AB: A persistent issue in the study of atmospheric tides has been differences in tidal signatures deduced from different observing systems and models. Recent analyses during the Second CAWSES Global Tidal Campaign Workshop show consistency between satellite observations (primarily from TIMED), ground based radars, lidar wind measurements and model analyses (likely) for the first time. This agreement required suitable reconstruction of components from the satellite and model analyses at the location of the ground based station. In this paper, we describe the campaigns and observations, summarize the analysis process and illustrate the extent to which tidal signatures from the various data types agree.
