Seasonal and interannual variations of global tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere neutral winds: I. Diurnal tides
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
In the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, diurnal tides are responsible for the dynamics and structures at low latitudes since they have largest amplitudes there.
Description
Based on the 20-year (2002-2021) observations from Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics Doppler interferometer (TIDI), we investigate the seasonal variations of three diurnal tidal components (DW1, DE3, DW2), and their responses to stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (SQBO) and solar cycle globally.
The results show that: (a) DW1, DE3 and DW2 show prominent semiannual (SAO) and annual oscillations (AO) in their peak regions where the ratio of their annual mean amplitude to their maximum annual mean amplitude is larger than 0.8. DW1 also exhibit strong terannual oscillations (TAO) especially in meridional wind. (b) The responses of the amplitudes of seasonal variations of DW1, DE3 and DW2 to SQBO and solar cycle are comparable in magnitude to those of their annual mean amplitudes (for response to solar cycle, even stronger in some cases), and thus cannot be neglected.

(c) In their respective peak regions, the responses of annual mean amplitudes of these diurnal tidal components to SQBO are uniformly positive except DW2, and their responses to solar cycle are uniformly negative. For these diurnal tides, the amplitudes of the dominant seasonal variations exhibit consistent response patterns with those of annual means to the SQBO/solar cycle. (d) Empirical formulas are given, which well describe the seasonal and interannual variations of dominant diurnal tidal components in their peak regions.
