Abstract
A 79-year record (1886-1944) of hourly surface pressure observations at Batavia was analyzed to detect systematic long-period variations in the solar semidiurnal barometric oscillation (S2(p)). Evidence was found for a quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in S2(p) throughout the latter half of the record (1905-1944). This is attributed to the effect of the familiar QBO of the tropical stratospheric mean winds and temperatures on the solar semidiurnal tide.-from Authors
