The mathematical forms chosen for analyses of Sq and L by seventeen different authors are reviewed. On the basis of the review and on consideration of the ionospheric dynamo theory and the Hough function structure of wind velocities in the upper atmosphere, a mathematical model is chosen that includes two more terms than the recent analysis by Malin (1973). Hourly mean values from 130 magnetic observatories for the I.Q.S.Ys (International Quiet Solar Years) 1964 and 1965 were prepared in machine-readable form and analysed. The solar and lunar transient magnetic variations were evaluated, together with the lunar elliptic magnetic tide and the seasonal change at one and two cycles per year for all magnetic tides. Spherical harmonic analyses were made of the phase-law tides and the smaller partial tides. Altogether 94 different spherical harmonic analyses were completed for a total of ten different magnetic tides. Two of the ten tides are the solar and lunar magnetic tides usually denoted S and L respectively. The results are tabulated in a form that distinguishes between eastward- and westward-moving terms, which is suitable for the evaluation of phase angle differences and amplitude ratios between internal and external parts. Malin’s ocean dynamo calculation has been applied to the lunar and lunar elliptic magnetic tides. The spherical harmonic coefficients are compared in some detail with those of Malin (1973) for years of high sunspot activity. The magnetic tidal potential associated with a given atmospheric tidal mode is derived theoretically and used to obtain an estimate of the Hough function components of the solar and lunar semi-diurnal atmospheric tides at ionospheric levels from the corresponding magnetic tidal potential.
