“…Longitudinal variations in the wind amplitude of the diurnal tide were observed and attributed to the effects of nonmigrating tides [Khattatov et al, 1996;Wu et al, 1996;Hagan et al, 1997]. In parallel with the UARS measurements, winds from radars have been used to develop climatologies of tidal behavior at individual stations [Franke and Thorsen, 1993 While in the past 10-15 years the measurements of most importance in the determination of tidal amplitudes have been wind measurements from radars and UARS, early work was based on both wind and temperature measurements from rockets and balloons [Hoxit and Henry, 1973;Groves, 1976;Groves, 1980]. In the 1980s, temperature retrievals from satellite data were reported [Hitchman and Leovy, 1985;Brownscombe et al, 1985] and provided the first global information to the community.…”
