## Abstract The mean meridional circulation in winter and summer is derived as a function of latitude and height from an analysis of observed winds in the area 160Β°Wβ0β40Β°E, 75Β°Nβ15Β°N. The results confirm the classical idea of a direct circulation in low latitudes, but the indirect circulation in m

## Abstract Surfaceβwind observations in the Northern Hemisphere are analysed and fields of mean meridional and zonal motion obtained. From these, profiles of mean meridional motion as a function of latitude are deduced. The results are consistent with a direct meridional circulation in low latitud
## Abstract A new attempt is made to determine the mean meridional wind components of the Northern Hemisphere at different levels for the winter season DecemberβFebruary, and to compute the mean mass circulation as a function of latitude. The computation shows the existence of a strong βdirectβ Had
## Abstract A calculation has been made of the meridional circulation sufficient to transport heat between the radiational sources and sinks in the stratosphere (15β55 km) and mesosphere (55β80 km). Assuming that the principal heat sources are in the region of the equatorial tropopause and in the m
