Temperature measurements from the CRyogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA) experiment taken during the US Space Shuttle mission STS-66 in November 1994 provide a variety of zonally symmetric and asymmetric tidal signatures in the altitude range from 20-90 km. The most prominent zonally asymmetric tidal pattern is identified to be the westward propagating nonmigrating diurnal tide of wavenumber 2 (s=+2). This mode shows an amplitude of approximately half the amplitude of the migrating s=+1 component of the diurnal tide. There is also some evidence for the zonally uniform s=0 mode. Although additional nonmigrating tidal modes are also present in the data set their revealed amplitudes appear to be small as compared to the s=+2 and s=0 modes. These results are compared to the global-scale-wave-model (GSWM) and to the thermosphere-ionosphere-mesosphere-electrodynamics general circulation model (TIME-GCM).
