Application of a Continuous Wavelet Transform to Study Planetary Waves

In this paper, we show a method for using the continuous Morlet wavelet transform in studying the variability of atmospheric migrating and nonmigrating tides. This approach makes it possible to obtain the amplitudes and phases of individual tidal components with different zonal wave numbers and periods. The most suitable periods required for data recovery are shown. The calculated amplitudes and phases are used to analyze the nonlinear interactions between stationary planetary waves and atmospheric tides.
