Proposed Mechanism to Explain a Semi-Annual Variation in the Winds in the Polar Mesosphere

Abstract

As this is a meeting on proposed mechanisms of solar-terrestrial relations, I would like to review one hypothesis that was proposed to explain a property of the long-term variations of the stratospheric winds. This has been published, but may be of interest to those who are not familiar with it (Belmont and Dartt, 1973; Belmont et al. 1974a, 1974b).
