Scientific paper

The upward energy flux of the (2,2,2) mode of atmospheric oscillation generated by water vapor and ozone radiational heating is calculated at 125 km for mean January, April, July and October conditions. The values obtained for the global mean flux lie close to 0.05 mW per sq m with a small reduction in July amounting to 13 percent of the average for the other 3 months. The effect of semidiurnal tidal heating on exospheric temperature is discussed with reference to the earlier work of Lindzen and Blake (1970) and it is concluded that the semidiurnal tide causes a relatively small increase in exospheric temperature of about 33 K.
