Evidence for a temperature variation above about 55 km between years of high and low solar activity is found in rocket data of Volgograd (49 deg N, 44 deg E) 1969-1983, reaching a solar-cycle amplitude of 6 K, whereas below 55 km no statistically significant solar cycle effect is detected. This mesospheric temperature variation is in qualitative agreement with a pressure variation at 80 km derived from lower ionosphere radio reflection heights near 51 deg N, 13 deg E, measured at Kuehlungsborn/GDR, covering almost two solar cycles. When the solar cycle variation has been removed from the 80-km pressure data by means of a regression analysis, there remains a quasi-cycle of about 20 yr, which agrees well with observations of a general cooling of the northern midlatitude stratosphere between 1965 and 1977 reported by previous authors.
