Abstract
A linear spectral tidal model is developed for use in interpreting sat ellite data for the middle atmosphere. It allows for inclusion of zona l-mean background winds and the parameterization of dissipation proces ses. In the companion papers (Wood and Andrews, 1996a,b), the model is used to simulate diurnal and semidiurnal tides and comparisons are ma de with other models and with observations.
