Many years of measurements obtained using French meteor radars at Garchy (Lat. 47°N) and Montpazier (Lat. 44°N) are used to show the existence of an 8 h oscillation. Some examples of the structure of this wave are displayed and compared with measurements performed at Saskatoon (Lat. 52°N) and Budrio (Lat. 45°N). This wave can be interpreted as the solar driven terdiurnal tide, or as the result of the non-linear interaction between the diurnal and semidiurnal tides. Both hypotheses are tested with numerical models. Incidentally, the possible existence of a 24 h wave resulting from this interaction is also studied. © 1989.
