abstract = {Based on the HALOE and SHADOZ observations of ozone (O-3)
and on a simple conceptual model of transport and
photochemistry, the seasonality of O-3 within the
stratospheric part of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL)
extending between 360 and 420 K potential temperature is
discussed. We show that the seasonality of O-3 diagnosed on
pressure (p) surfaces has a significantly larger annual
cycle compared with the same kind of analysis on surfaces
with constant potential temperature (theta), in particular
around p = 80 hPa, where the strongest annual variation in
tropical temperature occurs. Thus by using theta instead of
p as the vertical coordinate, the (seasonal) adiabatic
variability is removed, and consequently, a much smaller
seasonal cycle of O-3 remains, which can be understood as a
consequence of chemistry, cross-isentropic transport
(upwelling), and horizontal, i.e., quasi-isentropic,
transport (in-mixing). Furthermore, we show that the
observed, theta-related seasonality of O-3, with highest
values during boreal summer, cannot be understood only by
photolytical O-3 production in slowly rising air masses,
which are well isolated from the extratropics. By using the
SHADOZ climatology at theta = 360 K and quantifying the
photochemical production of O-3 in ascending air above theta
= 360 K, we determine the residual variability between the
observations (SHADOZ, HALOE) and the calculated O-3 values
and, consequently, interpret this residuum as horizontal
in-mixing from the extratropical stratosphere. We find that
between 380 and 420 K, in-mixing contributes to about $40\%$
of the observed O-3 mixing ratios during boreal summer.},
