“…Collm, 51 • N; Saskatoon, 52 • N, Adelaide 35 • S, Christchurch 45 • S. These location-specific solar tides are combinations of not only the various tidal Hough modes making up the MT, but also NMT, so that observed tidal amplitudes, phases and vertical wavelengths vary with longitude and season Cierpik et al, 2003), due to the spatial and temporal variability of NMT-forcing by cumulonimbus clouds (e.g. Forbes et al, 2003;Oberheide and Forbes, 2008) and stationary planetary waves (SPW: Hagan and Roble, 2001). …”
