Temperature observations between 20 and 120 km from the SABER instrument on the TIMED spacecraft are used to investigate the nature of planetary wave activity during the 60 days prior to the midwinter stratospheric warming that commenced on 26 September, 2002 in the Southern Hemisphere. The primary...
