Abstract

Some recent progress in the study of tides in the middle atmosphere are reviewed, with special emphasis placed on radar observations at high latitudes, as well as data analysis methods used in the calculation of tidal structures. Observations carried out outside the meteor zone with MST radars and satellites are also presented. Theoretical and numerical advances on the diurnal tide are extensively discussed. Finally, some outstanding problems, which we hope will be solved in the near future are raised: the existence of hemispheric asymmetries in tidal structure; the role played by non-migrating modes at meteor heights and short time scales variations of tides.
