THE DIURNAL TIDE NEAR THE STRATOPAUSE OVER WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, NEW MEXICO,
Abstract
The results of the analysis of over three hundred meteorological rocket soundings of the stratosphere and lower mesosphere are summarized. Two basic parts of the summary are the atmospheric tidal experiments and the delineation of the diurnal tide in summer data obtained over White Sands Missile Range. Phase and amplitude determinations of the diurnal variation of the zonal and meridional components were significant and predictable. These values then could be used to improve wind forecasts and existing statistical summaries of the Meteorological Rocket Network in the summer stratopause region over White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.
