Solutions to the thermospheric tidal equations are described that define the extensions into the thermosphere of normalized wind and temperature structures associated with the (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), and (2,5) semidiurnal propagating tidal modes. Sample figures are presented that illustrate the degree of alteration of vertical structures with latitude and the change in horizontal shapes with height, corresponding to semidiurnal oscillations in northerly, westerly, and vertical velocity and temperature in the thermosphere. The structures can be used to extend meteor wind (80-100 km) and partial reflection drift (60-100 km) measurements to heights above 100 km for consistency checks with tidal winds and temperatures from Thomson scatter measurements at possibly different latitudes, or to simultaneously fit data covering these height regions for modeling purposes.
