Daily tidal, planetary wave, and gravity wave amplitudes over the Canadian prairies

Fifteen months of daily mean winds, semi-diurnal tides, and gravity waves observed from the Canadian Prairies MF radar network were examined to find correlations in their amplitude fluctuations. In all cases, the correlations of the wave/winds between the three sites were greater than 95% significan...

Description
Summary:Fifteen months of daily mean winds, semi-diurnal tides, and gravity waves observed from the Canadian Prairies MF radar network were examined to find correlations in their amplitude fluctuations. In all cases, the correlations of the wave/winds between the three sites were greater than 95% significant. Generally, while the correlations between the various wave/winds types were much weaker, there was evidence of gravity wave/tidal and tidal/mean wind interactions.
