摘要: Radio wave absorption data for a large number of stations have been used to study the semiannual variations (SAV–s) in mesosphere. Temperature 50-km levels also utilized similar study. While temperature show systematic variation all latitudes investigated, do not yield phase relationship with latitude. However, maximum SAV is found occur at high-latitude station. The different behavior SAV's latitude could perhaps be explained terms mesospheric composition changes resulting from circulation pattern lower atmosphere.
