Title: ON TWO METEOROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF LOW LATITUDE STRATOSPHERE AND MESOSPHERE—UPPER STRATOSPHERIC ZONAL WIND REVERSALS AND A WARMING LAYER BELOW THE MESOPAUSE
Abstract: A vertical layer where temperature increases with height has been observed below the mesopause consistently at the two low latitude stations over Thumba (8°32'N, 76°52'E) and Ascension Island (8°0'S, 14°4'W). Below this warming layer a reversal takes place in temperature gradient at a level and this level is described as secondary mesopause. The seasonal zonal wind reversals in the upper stratosphere over Thumba are classified into three types and the rates of their vertical propagations are computed.
