Atmospheric tides are globally-observed oscillations driven by gravitational pulls (chiefly from the Moon and Sun) as well as thermal heating.

The analysis

The retrieved literature confirms that atmospheric tides include components driven by gravitational forces and lunar/solar ephemerides, supporting the claim that gravitational pulls contribute to atmospheric tides.
