Modeling the diurnal tide with dissipation derived from UARS/HRDI measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper uses dissipation values derived from UARS/HRDI observations in a recently published diurnal-tide model. These model structures compare quite well with the UARS/HRDI observations with respect to the annual variation of the diurnal tidal amplitudes and the size of the amplitudes themselves. It is suggested that the annual variation of atmospheric dissipation in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere is a major controlling factor in determining the annual variation of the diurnal tide.

Diurnal Migrating Tide as Seen by the High-resolution Doppler Imager/uars 2. Monthly Mean Global Zonal and Vertical Velocities, Pressure, Temperature, and Inferred Dissipation
Meridional diurnal tidal winds derived as described by Khattatov et al. [this issue] from the high-resolution Doppler imager (HRDI) data are used in the linearized tidal equations to solve for the diurnal tidal oscillations in the zonal and vertical velocity, pressure, temperature, and dissipation in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The resulting monthly mean latitude-altitude cross secti...
متن کاملDiurnal variations of temperature and winds inferred from TIMED and UARS measurements
Owing to their sampling properties in local solar time, both the TIMED and UARS spacecrafts provide the opportunity to quantitatively study the mesospheric thermal tides. The information though is limited because it takes the TIMED instruments 2 months to cover the full range of 24 hours, almost twice as long as UARS. We present here the results of an analysis, in which the seasonal and global-...
متن کاملLong-term variability in the solar diurnal tide observed by HRDI and simulated by the GSWM
Observations of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere winds obtained by the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) during 1991 to 1995 reveal a semiannual variation in the amplitude of the (1,1) diurnal tide. The global-scale wave model (GSWM) represents the first numerical modeling attempt at simulating this seasonal variability, and a prelimina...
متن کاملDiurnal Migrating Tide as Seen by the High-resolution Doppler Imager/uars 1. Monthly Mean Global Meridional Winds
The high-resolution Doppler imager (HRDI) instrument on board the upper atmosphere research satellite measures global winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere on a day-to-day basis. The horizontal coverage of the HRDI data is excellent and provides a unique opportunity to study global-scale dynamic phenomena; however, the local time resolution and coverage are limited because of the natur...
متن کاملGlobal distributions of diurnal and semidiurnal tides: observations from HRDI-UARS of the MLT region and comparisons with GSWM-02 (migrating, nonmigrating components)
HRDI (High Resolution Doppler InterferometerUARS) winds data have been analyzed in 4-latitude by 10-longitude cells at 96 km to obtain the global distribution of the solar-tidal amplitudes and phases. The solstices June–July (1993), December–January (1993–1994), and one equinox (September–October, 1994) are analyzed. In an earlier paper (Manson et al., 2002b) the emphasis was solely upon the lo...
