Interactive comment on “Migrating and Non-Migrating Tides Observed in the Stratosphere from FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Temperature Retrievals” by Uma Das et al

Abstract

Temperature data from the FORMOSA Satellite Series No. 3/Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC) observations obtained during 2009 to 2010 have been used to analyze migrating (DW1) and non-migrating (DS0 and DW2) diurnal tides in the middle atmosphere from 10 to 50 km over equator and 65◦N. For this, the authors have separated two overlapping groups with data from 4 satellites each besides to consider data from 6 satellites group. The analysis of each group was performed considering 21 days data centred over each 11 days. The topic of the manuscript is interesting for understand the source of generation
