Evaluations are presented of the momentum and energy flux divergences of the diurnal and semidiurnal tidal fields calculated by Forbes (1982) from 0 to 400 km altitude. Results are presented in the form of meridional cross-sections from 0 to 78 deg N or S latitude with a 6 deg latitude interval. Comparisons are made with evaluations of the momentum flux divergences of the diurnal tide by Miyahara (1981, 1983), and good agreement is obtained in the lower thermosphere (below about 130 km), but a large disparity arises in the upper thermosphere. In the lower thermosphere, momentum flux divergences of the semidiurnal tide are comparable with those of the diurnal tide, and should be included in general circulation calculations of the 90-120 km region.
