Abstract: Modern atmospheric tidal theory has shown that the dominance of the terrestrial semidiurnal surface pressure oscillation, relative to its diurnal counterpart, is the result of the elevated heating source generated by solar ...

Abstract: Classical atmospheric tidal theory has been used to compute the bilinear tidal zonal-mean forcing per unit mass of the zonal-mean meridional and zonal winds, together with the tidal zonal-mean heating per unit mass for the ...

Abstract: Classical atmospheric tidal theory is extended to include the effects of large-amplitude planetary-scale variations of the terrain height. Utilizing simple models of the thermotidal forcing, the resulting technique is used ...

Abstract: We have computed a steady state, zonally symmetric response of an atmospheric circulation to the combined efffects of the very large zonal-mean diabatic heating and thermotidal forcing thought to exist in the dusty Martian ...

Abstract: We have used a linearized nondivergent barotropic vorticity model on a sphere to intercompare the fastest growing, barotropically unstable wave modes computed for zonal jets at high latitudes in the middle atmospheres of ...

Abstract: Results for the residual circulation in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere between September 1991 and August 1994 are reported. This circulation is diagnosed by applying an accurate radiative transfer code to temperature, ...
