Numerical modeling of the solar and lunar semidiurnal atmospheric tides is performed by invoking a comprehensive approach that includes both algebraic manipulation and numerical solution of the primitive equation system. The effect of latitudinally varying temperature and associated mean zonal wind in a modeled atmosphere with realistic forcing are successfully incorporated to reproduce tidal variabilities at meteor heights delineated by radar observation varieties. The study employs two models for wind and temperature structures, conventional and updated models for solar thermal forcing, and two sets of models for dissipation effects. The goal is to give quantitative predictions of tidal structures with realistic forcing and, what is considered more interesting, background mean zonal wind associated with latitudinal temperature structure.
