It is observed as the diurnal motion of stars or extraterrestrial radio sources.

Lindzen went on to calculate the thermal response of the diurnal tide to ozone and water vapor absorption in detail and showed that when his theoretical developments were included, the surface pressure oscillation was predicted with approximately the magnitude and phase observed, as were most of the features of the diurnal wind oscillations in the mesosphere.

In the early literature the observed diurnal variations of Schumann resonance power were explained by the variations in the source-receiver ( lightning-observer ) geometry.

They interpreted the diurnal variations observed at each station in terms of a combination of a diurnally varying global excitation modulated by the local ionosphere height.

It is generally acknowledged that source-observer effects are the dominant source of the observed diurnal variations, but there remains considerable controversy about the degree to which day-night signatures are present in the data.

Almost nothing is known of their life history beyond that the adults are diurnal and females are flightless ; larvae have not been observed.

( This applies even in the tropics, since areas far from the sea will have larger diurnal temperature ranges and potentially less moisture, as observed with Kilimanjaro and presently glacier-free Mount Meru ).

Comparisons between the scleral rings of Pterodactylus antiquus and modern birds and reptiles suggest that it may have been diurnal.

There are long double ridges of ice with central troughs bearing a strong resemblance to Europan lineae ( although they have a larger scale ), and which may have a similar origin, possibly shear heating from strike-slip motion along faults caused by diurnal tidal stresses experienced before Triton's orbit was fully circularized.

Additionally, on very long timescales over which the spin axis of the body may be repeatedly changed due to collisions ( and hence also the direction of the diurnal effect changes ), the seasonal effect will also tend to dominate.

The term " raptor " is derived from the Latin word rapere ( meaning to seize or take by force ) and may refer informally to all birds of prey, or specifically to the diurnal group.

The bee-eaters are diurnal ( active by day ), although a few species may migrate during the night if the terrain on route is unsuitable for stopping or if they are crossing the sea.

Large owls, such as those in the Bubo genus, may be killed by these eagles but usually avoid direct conflicts by being nocturnal in activity rather than diurnal.

Conversely, following the diurnal motion with the camera, to eliminate it on the photograph, can best be done with an equatorial mount, which requires adjusting the right ascension only ; a telescope may have a motor to do that automatically ( sidereal drive ).

While bruxism may be a diurnal or nocturnal activity, it is bruxism during sleep that causes the majority of health issues ; it can even occur during short naps.

The Australian Magpie is almost exclusively diurnal, although it may call into the night, like some other members of the Artamidae.

Amongst the fruits of his industry may be mentioned a laborious investigation of the disturbances of Jupiter by Saturn, the results of which were employed and confirmed by Euler in his prize essay of 1748 ; a series of lunar observations extending over fifty years ; some interesting researches in terrestrial magnetism and atmospheric electricity, in the latter of which he detected a regular diurnal period ; and the determination of the places of a great number of stars, including at least twelve separate observations of Uranus, between 1750 and its discovery as a planet.

It has been suggested that this may be because the Hawk-Owl may partially fill an important diurnal niche similar to that of day hunters such as hawks.

This may also indicate niche partitioning with contemporary pterosaurs inferred to be diurnal, such as Scaphognathus and Pterodactylus.

They may be either diurnal or nocturnal, depending on the species.

This is because of significant differences encountered between measurements made at different depths, especially during the daytime when low wind speed and high sunshine conditions may lead to the formation of a warm layer at the ocean's surface and strong vertical temperature gradients ( a diurnal thermocline ).

Comparisons between the scleral rings supporting the eyes of Confuciusornis and modern birds and other reptiles indicate that it may have been diurnal, similar to most modern birds.

The diurnal variation for normal eyes is between 3 and 6 mmHg and the variation may increase in glaucomatous eyes.

Clearly, the temperature gradient may change substantially in time, as a result of diurnal or seasonal heating and cooling for instance.

This gives a miscellaneous diurnal time for the NOTAM if the hours of effect are less than 24 hours a day, e. g., parachute dropping exercises tend to occur for short periods of a few hours during the day, but may be repeated over many days.

They may be benefic ( moderately warming or moistening ) or malefic ( excessively cooling or drying ); masculine ( drying ) or feminine ( moistening ); active and diurnal ( suited to the qualities of the day and aligned with the nature of the Sun ) or passive and nocturnal ( suited to the qualities of the night and aligned with the nature of the Moon ).
