摘要: Observational studies on the semiannual oscillation in tropical stratosphere and mesosphere are reviewed. Results of many statistics based rocket satellite observations reveal that long-term behavior mean zonal wind exhibits two cycles which have their maximum amplitudes centered at stratopause level mesopause level, each one being associated with temperature variations predominating levels about 10 km lower.
