I have been working on the time of the phase and its influence on the
weather for quite some time now and consider myself to be a bit of an
expert on the influence

Whatever the coincidentae are for all the proceeding posts (and it is
useful and interesting work) the fact remains that "pull" is not the
way that the moon affects the hydrology of this planet at all.

All we have, since the days of Kelvin and Doogeson, are the factors
that are involved. So far, the theory and laws concerning tides are
elusive.

While there is a repeatable pattern (and every port is different, some
being so closely related that one can be (as they are) used as a datum
for others) there is a stage in the function of gravity on tides, that
has yet to be discovered.

Until tidal theory is addressed in light of the fundamental laws of
mechanics, that stage never will be.


And your evidence for any of the above is... ?

It's been known for years (centuries ?) that there are all sorts of
resonance effects governing ocean tides, not to mention the fact that
they are caused by two bodies dragging water around a body with various
irregularly shaped land masses.
One of the most entertaining accounts of this I know of is Fritz
Lieber's novel "The Wanderer", where the situation is complicated by the
appearance of an Earth-mass body near the Moon prompting one character
to exclaim "At last, a really challenging example of the three-body
problem" :-)
