AB: Three years of temperature measurements by the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) instrument onboard the Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite are analysed to examine seasonal and interannual variations of migrating durnal tide in the mesosphere. Using the recently developed algorithm that effectively reduces the aliasing between the zonal mean and tidal components from unevenly sampled or incomplete measurements we examine the seasonal and interannual variations of zonal mean fields and their effects on the variabilities of migrating tides in the upper stratosphere and the mesosphere. A linear spectral tidal model is also used to investigate the major physical mechanisms that cause the seasonal and interannual variations of diurnal tide.
