The MAP/WINE data set calculated from all available observations for the winter 1983/84 was used to investigate the dynamics of the wind reversal in the stratosphere and mesosphere during a stratospheric major warming. Planetary wave amplitudes are computed and interpreted with regards to mean zonal wind changes. It is tested whether the reversal of the meridional gradient of the potential vorticity together with a critical level is a sufficient condition for the breakdown as suggested by theory for the nonlinear reflection of the waves into the polar cap. Results are unclear.
