An investigation of the seasonal-latitude tidal structures of O, N2, and total mass density in the thermosphere for minimum and maximum levels of solar activity, by using a theoretical model and accelerometer data from the Atmosphere Explorer C,D,E, and Air Force S3-1 satellites, is presented. Representative theoretical profiles are presented and the theoretical height structures of diurnal amplitude and phase of O and N2 near the equator are found to be in good agreement with recently published tidal analyses of Atmosphere Explorer E mass spectrometer data. In conclusion, tidal analyses of the accelerometer data verify the shift to later times of the diurnal phase of total mass density from the equator to mid-latitudes in the lower thermosphere as predicted by theory.
