The seasonal evolution of planetary wave structure in the stratosphere and troposphere of the Southern Hemisphere was investigated using daily geopotential data for the years 1979-1986. Two distinct maxima in stratospheric geopotential height variance curve were observed in the middle to upper stratosphere during the early winter and late winter-spring periods, which sandwich the period of strong mid-winter zonal winds. It was found that, in the upper stratosphere, the entire sequence occurs approximately one month earlier. Seasonal differences in transient wave behavior were also documented, including three-dimensioanal propagation characteristics and wave-mean flow interaction diagnostics.
