Tropospheric - Stratospheric Tidal Investigations. Hough Components of Ozone Heating.

Abstract

Formulae are derived for the Hough components and the mean rate of solar radiational heating by ozone absorption in the presence of a lower reflecting layer. A model of ozone densities based on observational data is presented for each of the four seasonal months January, April, July and October at heights 0(5)80 km and latitudes 0(15)90 deg. Diurnal and semidiurnal components of heating are evaluated for migrating modes and discussed in relation to features of the adopted ozone model. Comparisons are made with earlier evaluations.
