Diurnal Temperature Variations in the Middle Atmosphere

Diurnal Temperature Variations in the Middle Atmosphere A computation has been made of the seasonal and latitudinal variation of the diurnal temperature changes in the ozonosphere. There was assumed a uniform cooling rate over a twenty-four hour period which exactly balanced the heating due to absorption by ozone of solar energy. The computations indicate that the diurnal temperature variation curve is relatively constant with latitude up to about 75 N Latitude. The maximum diurnal temperature variation is at about 45 km. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society American Meteorological Society

Abstract

A computation has been made of the seasonal and latitudinal variation of the diurnal temperature changes in the ozonosphere. There was assumed a uniform cooling rate over a twenty-four hour period which exactly balanced the heating due to absorption by ozone of solar energy. The computations indicate that the diurnal temperature variation curve is relatively constant with latitude up to about 75 N Latitude. The maximum diurnal temperature variation is at about 45 km.
