Scientific paper

Temperature measurements from 30 to 100 km from the SABER instrument on TIMED are used to investigate nonmigrating solar tides during March-August, 2002. The measurements include corrections for non-LTE effects. The most prominent nonmigrating tide oscillations include eastward-propagating diurnal tides near the equator and tropics, and semidiurnal tides with zonal wavenumbers s = 1 and s = 3 and diurnal tides with zonal wavenumbers s = 0, 2 and 3 at higher latitudes. Nonlinear tide-tide and tide-planetary wave interactions are explored as possible mechanisms to account for the existence of the high-latitude tides, while the low-latitude oscillations appear more likely to originate in latent heating associated with deep tropical convective systems.
