Abstract

An analysis of the southern hemisphere circulation for the austral spring, September to November 1988, is presented. More detailed treatment is given to the Australian region bounded by the equator, Antarctica, longitude 90°E and the dateline. Tropical and extratropical anomalies in the southern hemisphere circulation are discussed along with their relevance to the cold episode which increased in intensity during this season.
