Abstract

Present study deals in detail the seasonal variation of height, temperature, density and zonal wind at stratopause level over equatorial India" It has been shown that height, temperature and density exhibit double maxima and zonal wind shows alternating pattern of easterly and westerly which repeat with R period of six months. It was also observed that maximum variability of zonal wind  and temperature occur during winter and summer. From a further study of oscillation of stratopause of temperature, density and zonal wind, it is concluded that both temperature and zonal wind exhibit  predominance of semi-annual over annual oscillation.
