In this fourth volume of a four volume series depicting the upper air climatology of the Southern Hemisphere, a cross sections of mean statistics for heights, temperatures, and dew points, from the equator to the South Pole, from the surface to 100 millibars, and at every 30 degree of longitude beginning at 10 degrees W for January, April, July and October are presented. Sixty figures provide no measures of variability for an individual point but gives some measures of seasonal change over the hemisphere. It shows departures from the standard atmosphere ("D" values) in the height cross sections. Cross sections of amplitudes and phases of the annual and semiannual waves depict the annual course of the above meteorological elements.
