edit: perhaps I need to think this one through some more.
(It not being mentioned should be a hint, the methods used should also be a hint that the moon is very unlikely to for example disturb the sound pattern made by droplets hitting a surface or the rate at which a droplet forms else they would've caught on to that by now.
If it would affect it then the pattern should've been there.
Honestly though my 1st thought was that the comment was concerning satellites being affected and I posted this to show that on the ground measurements are a good way to measure without interference and act as a control.)

That could really be argued either way.
One the one hand, it doesn't say that standard rain gauges are affected by the Lunar tides; but on the other, it doesn't say they aren't.
However, the data was collected by satellite.

Thanks it wasn't my best argument and silently hoping someone wouldn't poke through it. ;)
