Scientific paper

Data from the Garchy meteor radar are used to construct a detailed picture of the general mean and seasonal averages of the semi-diurnal and diurnal tides in the 80-100 km altitude range. The semi-diurnal tide is generally dominated by the fundamental S(2 omega) sub 2, 2 mode, but higher-order modes prevail in winter, and spring and autumn averages cannot both be described by a single 'equinoctial' model. The diurnal tide is alternately dominated by the S(omega) sub 1, 1 mode and by evanescent modes (in summer). Comparisons with theoretical predictions show severe discrepancies. Short-term variations of the tides are investigated with the help of two-dimensional spectral analysis and regression methods. Several cases of complex tidal structure can be interpreted as reflection or wave superposition phenomena.
