The temperature variations of the neutral gas in the thermosphere are considered as a function of local time and season, taking into account the latitude range from -17.5 deg to +17.5 deg and the altitude range from about 250 km to about 400 km. The temperature measurements were conducted in situ with the Neutral Atmospheric Temperature Experiment (NATE) on the Atmospheric Explorer E (AE-E) spacecraft during the time between December 1976 and January 1979. The altitude of the circular orbit of the spacecraft was gradually increased during this period from 250 to 400 km. A significant result of the reported analysis is the latitudinal (seasonal) variation observed in the semidiurnal and terdiurnal tides during solstice. It is found that this variation is responsible for the seasonal behavior of the midnight temperature maximum.
