## Abstract The construction of 10, 3 and 1 mb contour charts using thicknesses derived from Nimbus 4 selective chopper radiometer (SCR) measurements is described. Examples of such charts during the 1972 stratospheric warming period are given. Heights and deduced gradient winds obtained from these
## Abstract The annual and semiannual waves in zonal mean temperature in the mesosphere are analysed using data from the Nimbus 6 pressure modulator radiometer (PMR). The observation that the annual temperature cycle in the extratropical upper mesosphere has almost exactly opposite phase to the sol
