Zusammenfassung |
Ground pressure observations made at Macao
(22°N, 113°E) from 1953 to 1991 are analyzed and
compared with the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) data obtained
during the same interval. The periods of the two phenomena and their time
evolution are found to be close to each other. Furthermore, the time series of
the stratospheric winds and the S2(p) QBO signature are highly
correlated, thus confirming earlier analysis. On this basis, pressure
measurements obtained at Batavia (now Djakarta: 6°S, 107°E)
from 1870 to 1944 are used to trace back the QBO phenomenon before the advent of
systematic stratospheric balloon measurements. The inferred period, which varies
between 25 and 32 months, suggests that the QBO has been present in the
atmosphere at least since 1870. |
