A note on multiple image photo-mosaics for the Southern Hemisphere

Six months data of computer produced, multiple image, satellite photo-mosaics are briefly examined, Some inferences are made concerning large scale Southern Hemisphere circulation features apparent from the analysis. These include the mean meridional bands of cloud associated with depression tracks and fronts, changes in the polar pack ice, seasonal variations in the cloud cover over the tropical and sub-tropical land masses and variations in the intertropical convergence, Attention is drawn to the utility of long term data of this type.
