The daily averaged NCEP data from 1950 to 2003 were used to analyze the characteristics of Stratospheric Sudden Warming(SSW).The results show that SSW in the Northern Hemisphere appeared so often that there were 69 SSW events during the 54 years and that they occurred more than once a year on the average,even twice or thrice in some years;the location of the warming center of SSW in the Northern Hemisphere changed with height at the lower level(near 16 km),mostly over the northern tip of North America to the Arctic in the western hemisphere;at the upper level(near 30km),it was mostly located over the north of Eurasia to the Arctic;SSW in the North Hemisphere usually occurred first near 30 km over the north of Eurasia,and then extended and transported from upper levels to lower levels with the warming center shifting gradually to the north of North America in the Western Hemisphere;during SSW,the change in temperature and circulation in the Stratosphere can affect the Troposphere,and lead to the change in temperature and circulation in the Troposphere.Besides the SSW in the Northern Hemisphere,the major warming that happened in the Stratosphere of the Southern Hemisphere in September 2002 was also analyzed.The characteristics of this SSW in the Southern Hemisphere differed somewhat from that of the North Hemisphere: at the lower levels(near 16 km),the warming center appeared over the southern tip of Eastern hemisphere,and at the upper levels,it was located over the southern tip of the western hemisphere.
