Short summary
We explore how chemical and dynamical processes shape ozone in the tropical middle stratosphere using satellite data and a chemistry-transport model. We apply a framework to identify cause–effect relationships and estimate their strength. For 2004-2021 monthly data, we detect an indirect pathway controlling ozone variability, with effects increasing after two–three months. We further assess how different wind regimes influence this pathway.
