Short summary
Short summary
Balloon and satellite observations show strong coupling between large-scale ozone and temperature fields in the tropical lower stratosphere, spanning timescales of days to years. We present a simple interpretation of this behavior based on an idealized model of transport by the tropical stratospheric circulation, and good quantitative agreement with observations demonstrates that this is a useful simplification. The results provide simple understanding of observed atmospheric behavior.

Short summary
Short summary
We have combined measurements from a series of SBUV instruments to create the longest continuous satellite-based profile ozone record from a single instrument type (1979–2016). We assess the consistency of the profile ozone measurements across instruments to assign an uncertainty to the merged record. Time-series analysis shows that upper-stratospheric ozone since 2001 is increasing, but the results are not yet statistically significant when the merged record uncertainties are included.
