I am trying to create a lunar path that I can track across the surface of the Earth to study residual gravity-related phenomenon but have not found any resources suitable. I'm looking for time-enabled data (or not) of lunar zeniths across the surface of the Earth.

Thank you!

I've done a similar thing using ephemeris data tables to find which cities received more sunlight during daytime hours and how time zones and daylight savings affected it. There are tables that can be generated using this software. You'll then have to parse the data and convert it to point and then line data for your purposes. Python will be your friend ;). I don't know of existing ephemeris data in GIS format but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
