Abstract
An investigation is made of the 30 mb temperatures for July, August and September for 1963–1972 from several Australian and New Zealand stations. Also, the ionospheric ƒ min data from these stations is compared with the stratospheric temperatures for this period. The large differences between the geographic and geomagnetic latitudes in this region means that auroral phenomena complicate the comparison. Cosmic noise absorption data and total ozone content measurements from an auroral station is used to assist in the interpretation of possible coupling mechanisms. It is concluded that particle precipitation has a marked effect on the stratosphere as well as the ionosphere, the July, August 1972 events being an outstanding example.
