A comparison is made between winds near 95 km altitude obtained from meteor radar measurements at Sheffield and radiances for the top channel of a stratospheric sounding unit (SSU). Three minor warmings and a major warming in the stratosphere during the period December 25, 1983 to March 4, 1984 were found to be associated with characteristic changes in both the zonal and meridional components of the wind above the mesopause. Similar systematic variations in the winds were observed around December 12, 1983, suggesting that a minor warming, the first of the season, developed at that time in the stratosphere. This event has not previously been reported. Its occurrence is confirmed by radiances from the SSU.
