The global mean vertical energy flux of the (1,1,1) mode of atmospheric oscillation is evaluated at 80 km altitude by classical tidal theory for mean January, April, July and October conditions using revised profiles of water vapour and ozone heating. Fluxes calculated for January and July are lower than those for April and October due to seasonal changes in water vapour, solar declination and sun-earth distance. Flux values obtained are compared with a previously stated requirement for maintaining the residual thermosphere and are adequate unless damping, which is ignored in the present calculations, introduces a factor of more than an order of 10 in magnitude. The relative changes of flux between the above four months are noted to be similar in form to the semi-annual variation of thermospheric air densities.
