The results of measurements of sx and sy at altitudes of 2 - 18 km on April 16-18, 1997, are presented. The values of sx and sy are mainly between -0.01 m s-2 and 0.01 m s-2 with increases up to ±0.04 m s-2 during tens of minutes to several hours in regions with vertical scales up to several kilometers. Such extremes are more frequent at the altitudes of tropo-stratospheric jet at 10 - 15 km and may indicate regions of inclination from geostrophic balance and of increased generation of atmospheric waves.",
