✦ Synopsis

Using rocketsonde-derived data for 17 years (1969-1985) the relationship between the Southern Oscillation (SO), sea surface temperature (SST) and temperature at the northern upper stratosphere-middle mesosphere is investigated.

In the upper stratosphere-middle mesosphere region a strong correlation is found between the SO signal and temperature. In the same atmospheric region and in the northern subtropics a correlation is also found between SST and temperature. The latter correlation depends on latitude and season. Lag correlation coefficients as high as 08-09 were found for all seasons.

In most cases the correlation between SO and temperature is opposite in sign to that existing between SST and temperature.
