Scientific paper

A Fourier analysis of temperature measurements obtained during the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere experiment between April and May 1979 has been performed in order to study synoptic-scale zonal eddies confined to polar latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) upper stratosphere. Evidence is provided for pronounced latitudinal variations in the upper stratosphere zonal wind distribution. The results indicate that the synoptic-scale modes may arise from a latitudial wind shear instability of the SH polar jet stream.
