      abstract     = {This study describes the spatio-temporal variation of
                      vertical profiles of ozone (O3) measured by balloon-borne
                      ozonesondes over two tropical sites of Trivandrum (TVM) and
                      Hyderabad (HYD) in India from January 2009 to December 2010.
                      In the lower troposphere, the mixing ratios of O3 over HYD
                      (18–66 ppbv) were similar to TVM (18–65 ppbv). In the
                      free troposphere, the O3 mixing ratios over HYD were higher
                      than those over TVM throughout the year. In the tropical
                      tropopause layer (TTL) region (above 15 km), the mixing
                      ratios of O3 over TVM were higher (83–358 ppbv) compared
                      to those measured over HYD (89–216 ppbv). Prevailing of O3
                      laminae between about 14 and 17 km is seen for both sites
                      for most profiles. A strong seasonal variation of O3 is
                      observed in the lower stratosphere between 18 and 24 km over
                      TVM, however, it is not pronounced for HYD. Transport of air
                      masses from the biomass burning region of the central
                      Africa, Southeast Asia and the Indo Gangetic plains (IGP)
                      influenced and led to enhancements of lower and
                      mid-tropospheric O3 over HYD and TVM while, the isentropic
                      (325 K) potential vorticity (PV) at 100 hPa showed transport
                      of O3–rich air from the lower stratosphere to the upper
                      troposphere during winter and spring months over both sites.
                      The free tropospheric O3 mixing ratios (FT-O3; 0–4 km)
                      contribute substantially to the tropospheric column O3 (TCO)
                      with an annual average fraction of $30\%$ and reveal the
                      similar seasonal variations over HYD and TVM. The vertical
                      profiles of O3 obtained from the Monitoring Atmospheric
                      Composition and Climate - Interim Implementation (MACC-II)
                      reanalysis and the Meteorological Research
                      Institute-Chemistry Climate Model version 2 (MRI-CCM2) are
                      compared with the ozonesonde data over both sites. The
                      simulated magnitude, phase and vertical gradient of O3 from
                      both MRI-CCM2 and MACC-II are in good agreement with
                      measurements in the stratosphere while there are significant
                      differences in the tropospheric columns.},
