Abstract
Numerical modeling of the solar and lunar semidiurnal atmospheric tides has been performed by invoking a comprehensive approach that includes both algebraic manipulation and numerical solution of the primitive equation system. The effect of latitudinally varying temperature and associated mean zonal wind in a modeled atmosphere with realistic forcing are successfully incorporated to reproduce tidal variabilities at meteor heights delineated by varieties of radar observations.Keywords
