                         receivers, the lunar tides were studied in the ionospheric total 
                         electron content (TEC) over Brazil from 2011 to 2014. In order to 
                         calculate the amplitudes and phases of the lunar tides, quiet 
                         magnetic days within a 27 day (window) have been used to remove 
                         the solar rotation effects. Relative residuals TEC were calculated 
                         by performing a spectral analysis by removing the solar tide 
                         contributions. Lastly, a lunar month size window was used to 
                         calculate the amplitude and phase of the lunar components. Lunar 
                         diurnal tide amplitudes showed a semiannual variation with maximum 
                         in the equinox months for almost all latitudes, while lunar 
                         semidiurnal amplitudes were larger in December and January and may 
                         be related to sudden stratospheric warming events. Both components 
                         did not display significant longitudinal variation what could be 
                         due to the short range of longitude (30 degrees). Lunar diurnal 
                         amplitudes were basically uniform over Brazil, while lunar 
                         semidiurnal amplitudes showed some peaks over the equatorial 
                         ionization anomaly crest and minimum values near the magnetic 
                         equator.",
