And I'm pretty sure meteorologists noticed well
before this, probably not too long after radio
sonde ascents started in earnest. Best example
recently is the very early change in lower
stratospheric wind direction in 1995, resulting in
prolonged drought conditions through summer 95 and
96 and indeed winter 95/96.
