Scientific paper

In classical, nondissipative atmospheric tidal theory, vertical and latitudinal variations of dependent variables are separable. This is no longer the case when dissipation is introduced, and various authors have responded with various methods of dealing with the problem. A new method is developed here, in which an individual tidal mode is followed upward into the dissipating regions by way of a latitudinally variable vertical wavenumber. This method appears to have conceptual and operational advantages, both analytical and numerical, though it, too, has its limitations. In an appendix, the method is sketched also in application to the effects of background zonal wids on tidal propagation.
