THE VARIABILITY OF WESTERLY JETS AND THE ACTIVITY OF PLANETARY WAVES IN THE STRATOSPHERIC AND MESOSPHERIC WINTER SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AS OBSERVED FROM NIMBUS 6 PMR
The pressure modulated radiometer (PMR) aboard Nimbus 6,collected radiance data from June 1975 until June 1978. These data have been processed to yield daily temperatures, geopotential heights and balance wind estimates from the stratosphere and mesosphere (20-90km) for the entire period. We use the...
