0300 Atmospheric Composition And Structure
Scientific paper
Atmospheric tides are ubiquitous and yet still not fully understood. Migrating and non-migrating tidal components are present in the runs of the extended Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (CMAM). As a means to better understand these components, a Hough mode decomposition of several of the stronger components has been performed. A least squares fitting was employed to fit the Hough modes to CMAM data for a variety of tidal components. Seasonal variability in solar heating was found to provide stronger expression of symmetric and antisymmetric modes during equinox and solstice, respectively. Several sources for atmospheric heating were considered individually and scrutinized for their contributions to modal excitation and expression. Certain dominant modes were found to correspond to certain regions of heating and hence, tidal behaviour at different times of year.
