Data

Temperature anomalies for the Southern Hemisphere were analyzed for the period January1979 - December 1997.  The data correspond to the MSU channel 4,

temperature anomalies for lower stratosphere.  This channel has its peak weighting at 70hPa and provides a good measure of lower stratospheric deep-layer temperature.  The data are placed in a 5128 (gridpoint) by 228 (month) matrix.
