Short summary
While direct wind observations are routinely made in the troposphere (0-10km), in the stratosphere (above 10km) wind observations are sparse. This study examines the potential of using ozone observations to infer stratospheric wind. This novel approach is tested with a data assimilation system based on a simplified model of the atmosphere, the so-called "shallow water model". It is shown that assimilation of ozone observations significantly benefits winds, particularly in the tropics.
