The present paper is the investigation of the semi‐diurnal tide (SDT) and gravity waves (GW) through coupling effects on propagating VLF signal. One year of recorded VLF data is used. The first modulation of the VLF signal with SDTs and GWs is presented. The structures associated with SDT and GW are analyzed, and the daily and monthly variations are determined. Wavelet and spectrum analysis is applied to the data to determine the origin of the SDT. The corresponding period of the observed SDT is matched with solar SDT (SSDT). Seasonal variability of the SSDT in the lower ionosphere has been investigated using the VLF radio sounding for the first time. Developmental, evolution, and dissipation phases of GW with daytime and month are resolved. A plan to deploy 8 VLF stations to probe the shoreline and characterize the generation and development of SDT and GWs along the coastline is discussed.
