Abstract: Daily global grids of high-quality, satellite-borne microwave measurements have been used to study the behavior of stratospheric waves during November 1980?March 1981. The primary motivation was to investigate, by comparing ...

Abstract: Four years of satellite-derived microwave and infrared radiances are analyzed for the three-dimensional and seasonal variation of semiannual oscillations (SAO) in stratospheric temperatures, with particular focus on high ...

Abstract: Remarkable domination of the summer Southern Hemisphere circulation by medium-scale features (zonal waves 4?7) has been reported. More recently, it has been shown that these features derive their energy from baroclinic ...
