Global observations and modeling of nonmigrating diurnal tides generated by tide-planetary wave interactions
Description: Advective processes that couple planetary waves with tides have long been proposed as sources of nonmigrating diurnal tides. This paper reports observations of short-term variability in global observations of nonmigrating tides predicted to arise from the interaction of the migrating diurnal tide (DW1) with a quasi-stationary planetary wave number one (PW1). PW1 and tidal definitions are extracted from satellite temperatures and high-altitude meteorological analyses. [Source: Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres]
