Abstract
Temperature variations in the lower stratosphere over the tropical Pacific were studied in detail. Seasonal temperature maps for the 100, 50, and 25 mb levels were drawn for the period 1956 through 1959. Monthly temperature variations along the meridians 140 and 170 degrees E were studied. Charts of the annual variation of average temperatures were made for selected stations. Results indicate that there is a seasonal variation of temperature with minimum temperatures occurring during January or February in the lower equatorial stratosphere. Over the equatorial areas, there appears to be some relationship between stratospheric temperature variations and zonal wind reversals at 50 mb.
