Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data during the southern hemisphere spring are analyzed to obtain time-mean and transient wave amplitudes for zonal wave numbers 1-10. It is found that at latitudes south 50¿S, the October total ozone is dominated by the wave number 1 time-mean component, with largest amplitudes occurring in 1979 and 1982. The November wave number 1 time-mean amplitudes are reduced from their October values; the largest reductions occur in 1979 to 1982. In contrast, at 40¿--45¿S the transient amplitudes are dominant. Phases angles for time-mean wave number 1 are also presented and little year-to-year variation is noted south of 50¿S. Also obtained with these data are traveling wave power and coherence-squared spectra. The spectra for eastward traveling features having zonal wave numbers 1--3 are presented. All of these wave numbers exhibit eastward traveling features at high latitudes, with no evidence of westward traveling features. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1989 |
