Scientific paper

Spectral analysis of the midnight temperature anomaly observed on Atmosphere Explorer-E indicates that the phenomenon can be adequately represented with wave numbers between 1 and 5. Results from a multiconstituent circulation model suggest that this feature and associated variations in composition are the result of a complex interaction between the semidiurnal tide generated in the lower atmosphere and ion-neutral momentum coupling associated with the diurnal variation of the ion density which, in turn, also generates higher order tidal models.
