It is known that the fundamental spheroidal mode S-0(2) of the Earth free o
scillation with a period of about 54 min forces atmospheric oscillations. W
e present a certain phase relationship for components of the S-0(2) multipl
et, which is based on synchronous collocated microbarograph and seismograph
observations. This relationship is both the first observational manifestat
ion of the Pekeris mode of global atmospheric oscillations with the 54 min
period and a further proof of the Earth's S-o(2) mode penetrating into the
atmosphere. We show that the linear non-dissipative model of steady forced
oscillations in isothermal atmosphere at rest does not describe the penetra
tion of the S-0(2) mode into the atmosphere adequately.
