本文综述了自Chapman和Lindzen（1970）专著发表以来大气潮汐理论的进展。主要发展包括调查平均纬向风和纬向温度梯度、分子粘性和热导率、辐射阻尼、成分变化和磁流体耦合的影响，包括季节和太阳周期的影响。线性化的无粘和粘性方程的普遍适用性记录在这篇评论中，和一些定量研究的大气潮汐被认为是这些方程的简化或修改。最近的计算热激发由于太阳辐射吸收H2O和O3低于80公里，紫外线和EUV吸收在低热层，在热带对流层的潜热释放。虽然没有试图详尽审查非相干散射，流星雷达和卫星质谱仪的贡献，大气潮汐的研究，代表性的风，温度和成分的数据，从这些来源的解释框架内的最新的定量模型，和我们的理解大气潮汐的现状进行评估。一些潜在的富有成果的未来研究领域也提出了。
Advances in the theory of atmospheric tides since the monograph by Chapman and Lindzen (1970) are comprehensively reviewed. Major developments include investigations of the effects of mean zonal winds and meridional temperature gradients, molecular viscosity and thermal conductivity, radiative damping, composition variations, and hydromagnetic coupling, including seasonal and solar cycle effects. Linearized inviscid and viscid equations of general applicability are documented in this review, and a number of quantitative studies of atmospheric tides are considered as simplifications or modifications of these equations. Recent calculations of thermal excitation due to insolation absorption by H2O and O3 below 80 km, UV and EUV absorption in the lower thermosphere, and latent heat release in the tropical troposphere are presented. Although no attempt is made to exhaustively review incoherent scatter, meteor radar, and satellite mass spectrometer contributions to the study of atmospheric tides, representative wind, temperature, and composition data from these sources are interpreted within the framework of the most recent quantitative models, and the current status of our understanding of atmospheric tides is assessed. Some potentially fruitful areas of future research are also presented.
