Seasonal variations of the semi-diurnal and diurnal tides in the MLT: multi-year MF radar observations from 2?70° N, modelled tides (GSWM, CMAM)
International audience In an earlier paper (Manson et al., 1999a) tidal data (1990?1997) from six Medium Frequency Radars (MFR) were compared with the Global Scale Wave Model (GSWM, original 1995 version). The radars are located between the equator and high northern latitudes: Christmas Island (2° N...
