Abstract
Two examples of convective cells in the middle stratosphere are demonstrated. They have been measured during two routine aerological soundings in Östersund, Central Sweden. The accuracy of the measurements of the vertical wind velocities (in one case amounting to some ten meters per second) is discussed. The phenomenon is explained from the weather situation, which is characterized by two cold-pools, one in the troposphere moving southwest from Russia and one in the upper stratosphere moving southsoutheast over Scandinavia from the North Pole region.
