There are now results that show seasonal shifts in Saturn's weather, so why is it so hard to think there are not tidal effects on the Earth's weather driven by the Moon's declinational movements.
If RTomes can show a measurable effect on the sun by the outer planets, what could be so difficult about believing the Moon (much closer) and swinging not 6 degrees but an included angle of 57 degrees, would not have a measurable effect.
My assumption is that it is the driving force behind the creation and maintenance of the jet streams, and the Rossby wave patterns. Just because it can visually be seen in the entire series of daily satellite photos is enough for me, to want to find the relationship between the patterns and planetary movements.
