Scientific paper

Infra-red radiance data from stratospheric sounding units on the TIRO-N series of satellites have been used to determine lunar tides in the temperature of the stratosphere. By taking the difference between observations from nominally identical instruments on two satellites in orbits with different local times of equator crossing, it is possible to obtain a much better signal-to-noise ratio for the lunar tide than by using observations from a single satellite. The results agree with those obtained earlier from NIMBUS satellite observations. In addition, an annual variation is now evident with a maximum tidal amplitude in January and February.
