We constructed a meteor wind radar in an observatory near Jakarta, Indonesia, through collaboration between Japan and Indonesia, which has been operating continuously since November Horizontal wind velocity fluctuations were determined for altitudes between 75 and 100 km with time and height resolutions of 1 hour and 4 km, respectively. We also launched radiosondes from Bandung, four times a day from November 1992 to April 1993, and obtained profiles of horizontal wind velocity and temperature at 0-35 km with a height resolution of 150 m. Further, the data collected during the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere/Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Eperiment (TOGA/COARE) campaign have been particularly used to investigate the horizontal variations of diurnal oscillations. Overall structure of the observed wind velocity profiles agreed well with the model diurnal winds above 20 km, with a dominant vertical wavelength of km. However, disagreements appeared below 20 km, showing significantly larger amplitudes and complicated phase structures, which may suggesthe effects of nonmigrating tides. Diurnal oscillations of the temperature in the lower atmosphere were described very well by a numerical model. 1. Introduction Diurnal oscillations of wind velocity in the troposphere and middle atmosphere are primarily described in terms of global atmospheric tides, which are chiefly generated by thermal forcing due to absorption of solar radiation by water vapor or ozone [e.g., Chapman and Lindzen, 1970; Kato, 1980]. The global diurnal tides migrate westward, synchronizing with an apparent motion of the Sun, so their time variations are the same when they are plotted as a function of local time. Forbes [1982] developed a numerical model for the migrating diurnal tides and provided their amplitudes and phases for solstice and equino conditions. Hagan et al. [1995] further improved the model, incorporating a more realistic dissipation process, and consequently, the delineated tidal amplitudes became smaller. In addition to the global tides, localized ecitation sources, such as diurnal activity of cloud convection or heat echange near the Earth's surface, could also produce diurnal oscillations, which were theoretically treated as nonmigrating tides with various zonal wavenumbers; therefore they could propagate both westward and eastward or be standing. A classical tidal theory was applied to describe the nonmigrating tides by assuming an idealized heat source [McKenzie, 1968; Karo er al., 1982]. Tsuda and Karo [1989] studied nonmigrating tides due to the land-sea difference of the upward heat Copyright 1997 by the American Geophysical Union. Paper number 96JD /97/96JD ,217 transfer within the planetary boundary layer. The general circulation model (GCM) was recently used for determining nonmigrating tides [Tokioka and Yagai, 1987; Yagai, 1989; Miyahara et al., 1993]. In particular, Williams and Avery [1995] studied tidal ecitation by latent heat release within convective clouds in an equatorial region and compared with observations with wind profiler radars and a satellite. Statistical analysis of nonmigrating tides was etensively conducted by Haurwitz [1965] by using large amount of surface data. Wallace and Tadd [1974] employed 12 hourly radiosonde data for detecting horizontal distribution of diurnal tides, and found significant regional deviations. Hsu and Hoskins [1989] suggested effects of the land-sea distribution on the diurnal tides, analyzing the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) results. Lieberman [1991] determined the behavior of diurnal tides from satellite observations in the middle atmosphere, reported that nonmigrating tides could have larger amplitudes than migrating components and that the nonmigrating tides could cause significantime varia- tions of diurnal tides. The general characteristics of diurnal tides indicates that vertically propagating tides are restricted in the low-latitude region. Accordingly, we concentrated the observations of diurnal tides near the equator. A radiosonde campaign was carried out in Indonesia in February-March 1990, and based on these observations, Tsuda et al. [1994] reported results of diurnal wind oscillations at 0-35 km. The observed amplitudes were much larger than a model prediction in the troposphere, while the behavior of diurnal wind oscillation above 20 km was consistent with the Forbes [1982] model.

Radiosonde Observations Over Bandung, Indonesia By using all the radiosonde profiles obtained during November 1992 and April 1993, mean amplitudes and phases of diurnal oscillations were determined, as shown in Figure 1 in comparison with numerical models by Forbes [1982] and Ekanayake et al. [1997]. Although the Forbes models are illustrated for December and March conditions, they are almost identical, indicating small seasonal variations. Note that the Forbes model assumed only migrating tides, while the Ekanayake et al. model included nonmigrating components as well. The amplitudes monotonously increase with altitude in the model by Forbes [1982], while the other model by Ekanayake et al. [1997] suggestsmaller amplitudes above 15 km with considerable height variations, probably due to an interference of several modes. Although the zonal phases are different by auuut u nouns, uutn liiou lb lnu cate downward ase progression in the stratosphere, corresponding to an upward ener propagating wave. Below about 15 km altitude the obse ed zonal amplitudes in Figure 1 ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 m/s, which were several times larger than predicted by the o models. In the lower stratosphere the amplitudes became rather smaller than those in the troposphere, showing a minimum near the tropopause. The obse ed amplitude profile agreed well with the model by Ekanayake et al. [1997], while the phases show significant resemblance to both models. The v component also showed similar characteristics to u. The amplitudes for v were, however, generally smaller than u :--., u,c... uupu p,c c. n tn um nanu, ti cir am plit udes were larger than the zonal values in the stratosphere. The phase profile agreed very well with the models above about 20 km. Amplitudes of T were as large as 1.5 K at 1 km altitude, decreased rapidly at 1-2 km, then they became K in the troposphere, which was fairly consistent with the model. Although the model indicates a linear increase of the amplitudes above 15 km, the observed values did not grow, showing fluctuations at K. While the phase profile of T agreed very well with the model in the entire height range, the phases were fairly constant at 1800 LT at 2-15 km, then showed phase pro- gression in the stratosphere. Note that the maimum phase appeared at around 1400 LT below 2 km due to the effects of upward heat transfer from the ground to the planetary boundary layer Horizontal Variations by TOGA-COARE Data In order to study spatial variation of tidal winds, we also refer to radiosonde profiles, collected through the TOGA/ COARE project. Diurnal oscillations of u, v, and 1' are determined at standard pressure levels for January-February Figure 2 shows the results for u at Manus (2.0øS, 147.3øE, 3 m MSL), Kavieng (2.4øS, 150.5øE, 3 m MSL), Kapinga (1.0øN, 154.8øE, 3 m MSL), and Nauru (0.5øS, 166.9øE, 30 m MSL). In the troposphere, observed amplitudes largely eceeded the model prediction, while the phase structure agreed well with the model at all of four sites, ecept in the boundary layer. It can be suggested that the maimum phase of u in local time was almost the same in the lower troposphere for the stations spread over a large spatial etent in an equatorial region. Above about 15 km, the observed phases showed downward progression, although they were out of phase to the modei vaiues.

Concluding Remarks By means of MWR we observed u and v at km with time and height resolution of 1 hour and 4 km, respectively. 4. Diurnal Tides in the Mesosphere We also sampled u, v, and T at 0-35 km every 6 hours during Figure 6 shows the MWR results for u and v at km between November 1992 and April 1993 in comparison with various models [Forbes, 1982; Hagan et al., 1995; Ekanayaket al., 1997]. Amplitude of u was about 4 m/s at 80 km, and increased to 8 m/s at 95 km, while v was 8 m/s at 76 km, increased to 18 m/s near 88 km, then decreased to 5 m/s at 100 km. That is, v was November 1992 and April 1993, with some data gaps, at Bandung, Indonesia. We analyzed diurnal wind oscillations in the troposphere, lower stratosphere, and mesosphere. We also used a radiosonde database of TOGA/COARE, collected at a number of tropical stations in west Pacific, determining diurnal oscillations of u, v, and T below 15 km. We discussed the behavior of the observed diurnal oscillations in about twice larger than u, consistent with a general tendency comparison with various numerical models. of the model. Although the observed amplitudes were much smaller than the Forbes model, they were described fairly well with the models by Hagan et al. [1995] or Ekanayake et al. [1997].

Phases of u and v agreed well with the models inant vertical wavelength, X z, as 30 km for the fundamental above about 20 km. Both amplitudes and phases of T agreed (1,1) mode, Ekanayaket al. [1997] obtained Xz = 23 km, including nonmigrating tides. The observed X for zonal winds was about 25 km, which was more consistent with the latter model. On the other hand, the phase profile for v was fairly gradual, very well with the model at 2-35 km. 2. The behavior of diurnal tides was similar in the lower troposphere over a large area in the west Pacific.
