Abstract: A numerical program is developed to study the behavior of atmospheric tides in atmospheres with arbitrary distributions (with respect to altitude and latitude) of mean temperature and zonal wind. This program is used to ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional model is developed to study the behavior of the solar semidiurnal tide in the thermosphere. In this model, we include viscosity, thermal conductivity, Coriolis effects, the sphericity of the earth, and ...

Abstract: Formulas that can be used to determine the optical path between two points along an atmospheric ray path are derived for the case when the local zenith angle of the ray path is larger than 70°. For angles less than 70°, ...

Abstract: The temporal and spatial variations of the zonally-averaged ozone beating rate in the middle atmosphere on a global scale are investigated in detail based on a model study. This study shows that the mean ozone heating rate ...
