In order to fill in some missing data and split the total column of ozone into a tropospheric and a stratospheric column, we used satellite observations from TOMS (Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer), OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument), and MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder) experiments. The dataset is made of daily total columns and weekly profiles of ozone collected over 20 years, from 1998 to 2017. E), one of the most ancient ozone-observing stations in the southern tropics.In this paper, we combined ground-based and satellite ozone observations over Irene site (25.90 While the stratospheric ozone protects the biosphere against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, tropospheric ozone acts like a greenhouse gas and an indicator of anthropogenic pollution. However, the trends from SCIAMACHY near 34 km in the tropics are larger than MLS and OSIRIS by a factor of around two.ġ SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY 2 European environmental research satellite 3 Earth Observing System (EOS) Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) 4 Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System 5 Southern Hemisphere ADditional OZonesondes. These yield rates of linear change of O3 similar to those from SCIAMACHY.

In the tropics, measurements from OSIRIS4/Odin and SHADOZ5 are also analysed. Comparisons between SCIAMACHY and EOS MLS3 show reasonable agreement both in the tropics and at midlatitudes for most altitudes. Positive O3 trends of around 5%per decade are found in the upper stratosphere in the tropics and at midlatitudes. In the tropics, positive trends of up to 5%per decade between 20 and 30 km and negative trends of up to 10%per decade between 30 and 38 km are identified. A focus for analysis are the zonal bands of 20 N-20 S (tropics), 60-50 N, and 50-60 S (midlatitudes). The time range of trend calculation is August 2002-April 2012.

Seasonal variations, the quasi-biennial oscillation, signatures of the solar cycle and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation are accounted for in the regression.

The trends are calculated by using a multivariate linear regression.

Vertical profiles of the rate of linear change (trend) in the altitude range 15-50 km are determined from decadal O3 time series obtained from SCIAMACHY1/ENVISAT2 measurements in limb-viewing geometry.
