abstract = "Temperature profiles between 30 and 65 km have been obtained in
S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos, Brazil (23° S, 46° W) with a lidar
operated at 589 nm since 1993. The long-term knowledge of this
temperature profile has allowed us to know its average climatology
as well as the nighttime evolution. During the period of late
September-early October, 2002 we observed profiles which differ
considerably from the average for the same period in other years.
Specially, a profile obtained on the night of October 2, 2002
called our attention by presenting an unusual stratospheric
inversion layer with a decrease of 8-10 K between 38 and 42 km.
Subsequent analysis showed that this period coincided with an
unprecedented major southern hemisphere stratospheric warming at
high latitude. Analysis of additional SABER temperature data
showed that inversion layers at the same altitude extends to a
wide area at low latitude.",
