The vertical component of the Eliassen--Palm (E--P) fluxes for the seven Septembers of 1979 to 1985 are shown to have a pattern correlation to 30 mb mean latitudinal ozone and temperature at 70¿ S for October, suggesting a dynamical influence on the long term trend of ozone and temperature values in the Southern Hemisphere for the period. For the August E--P fluxes and September parameters the relationship still appears to hold for temperature, but the ozone relationship is much weaker. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1987
