Abstract

The variations in zonal mean ozone and temperature from 30–60 km are compared, with emphasis on annual and semi-annual periods. Seven years of data from Nimbus 4 and 5 BUV and SCR instruments are used to prepare altitude-latitude diagrams of amplitude and phase. There are two high-latitude equinoctial semi-annual waves at 40 km, whose cause is apparently the overlap of two annual waves. Temperature and ozone are in phase near 5 mb or below, and out-of-phase near 2 mb and above. The thickness and altitude of the transition zone between them varies greatly with latitude and time, as shown by daily correlation patterns.
