                         semidiurnal lunar tide in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere 
                         has been studied from January 2005 to December 2008. Monthly tidal 
                         amplitudes and phases were determined using hourly mean winds in 
                         seven layers of four kilometer thickness each, centered in 81, 84, 
                         87, 90, 93, 96 and 99 km of height. Most of the amplitudes and 
                         phases profiles of the lunar tide showed characteristics of 
                         vertically propagating waves in the atmosphere. Over S{\~a}o 
                         Jo{\~a}o do Cariri, during almost all year, the amplitudes of the 
                         meridional component were greater than the zonal one, and the 
                         phases presented equatorial characteristics of Southern 
                         Hemisphere. Over Cachoeira Paulista, the mean amplitudes were 
                         greater in meridional component and the phases also presented 
                         characteristics of Southern Hemisphere. Santa Maria presented 
                         meridional amplitudes greater than zonal between November and 
                         April. In several aspects, the three sites have similarities with 
                         the Vial and Forbes (1994) atmospheric semidiurnal lunar tidal 
                         model.",
