| Description | Atmospheric structure derived from satellite, multichannel radiance data is used to calculate zonally averaged vertical motions in the wintertime stratosphere of both hemispheres using a heat budget approach. The Northern Hemisphere calculations based on the satellite data are shown to compare favorably with a computation carried out with conventional data, and with results of previous studies. The mean Southern Hemisphere pattern for the month of July 1969 indicates a two-celled structure with the high latitude cell centered at 60-65S. The axis of sinking motion in this cell is at approximately 50S, while the rising motion is centered at 70S. Thus the Antarctic stratospheric jet stream is associated with an indirect cell. Two individual ten-day periods from July 1969 are examined to compare the mean meridional circulation and eddy heat flux patterns in the Southern Hemisphere during a minor midwinter warming and during a quiet period. |
