Scientific paper

The thermal excitation of diurnal and semidiurnal tidal modes due to insolation absorption by O3 and H2O is investigated, and significant structural and seasonal differences from the heating profiles described by Chapman and Lindzen (1970) are reported. Heating rates are calculated as a function of local time, latitude, and height. At a number of altitudes and latitudes, the local time structure of the heating distribution is Fourier decomposed into subharmonics of a solar day, and, at each height, the latitude structure of each Fourier coefficient is decomposed into Hough modes. This procedure leads to different vertical heating structures for each Hough mode, which are functions of season.
