Abstract

Stratospheric equatorial zonal winds from 1951 onwards up to the present show considerable long-term variations, more so at higher levels, These are rarely monotonic and often show multi-periodic structures, including a sunspot cycle (II year variations), Stratospheric temperatures and geopotential heights also show multi-periodic variations, A periodicity near 20 years is encountered often.
