Meyer (NCAR, HAO) M.E. Hagan (NCAR, HAO) ---------------------------------------- Abstract: A time dependent, quasi non-linear global scale model of wave-mean flow interactions is being developed at NCAR-HAO for use by the PSMOS and CEDAR communities. Initial results of interactions between planetary waves and tides and the zonal mean bacground atmosphere are presented and contrasted with observations and modeling of the diurnal tide quasi 2-day wave. ---------------------------------------- Discipline Category: Mesosphere Discipline Category: Thermosphere
