Short summary
Using multi-satellite datasets, the interannual climate variability in upper mesosphere is demonstrated to be anti-phase between the summer and winter hemispheres during solstice months. Summer polar upwelling bottom-up drives opposite water vapor variability between the two hemispheres. Subsequently, mesospheric ozone is negatively modulated by water vapor through ozone chemistry, which further influences temperatures above 90 km via radiative and chemical heating.
