Abstract
Comparisons are made between winds obtained from EOLE balloons and winds determined from cloud motions as observed from the Applications Technology Satellites, ATS-1 and ATS-3. The results show that the mean winds determined from EOLE balloons are greater in speed than mean winds derived from cloud motion observations. Inspection of the total set of comparisons lead one to conclude that the cloud motion winds in the 20–50°S latitude band apply to a level lower than 200 mb. The mean differences become smaller toward the equator and the results further suggest that the cloud motion winds apply to altitudes higher than 200 mb equatorward of 20°S.
