AbstractNarrow bandwidth radiance observations from the stratosphere and lower mesosphere have been provided since late 1978 from channels in the TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) system flown on the TIROS-N series of NOAA spacecraft. Changes in atmospheric temperature between 1979 and 1988 are inferred from the changes in zonally averaged radiances observed by TOVS over 10° latitude bands between 75°N and 75°S in each of four seasons. Time series of changes in radiance from 1979 until 1988 are presented for an area-weighted average from 75°N to 75°S, and also for averages in the equatorial region (15°N to 15°S) and the northern (15°N to 75°N) and southern (15°S to 75°S) hemispheres.The results have been adjusted to account for long term instability in the spectroscopic performance of channel 27 of the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU), and also discontinuities in the processed data from other channels.
