We focus on possible QBO-related variations in these nonmigrating diurnal tide components. We found: (1) a strong reverse QBO effect on the W2 meridional diurnal tide in the September equinox and the December solstice, which suggests a W2 source of nonlinear interaction between planetary wave 1 and the migrating diurnal tide; (2) the QBO effect on the peak height during the June solstice on the E3 zonal diurnal tide; (3) several nonmigrating tide components (E3, E2, E1, W3 meridional, and W3 zonal) with similar eastward phase QBO enhancement during the March equinox to the migrating diurnal tide, although to a lesser degree from 2002 to 2005; (4) the QBO effects, in some cases, during 2006 and 2007 are either less or opposite those observed between 2002 and 2005.
