Ozone trends in the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere using equivalent latitude-potential temperature
• We analyze UTLS ozone trends in geographical coordinates and in equivalent latitudepotential temperature (EqL-θ) • EqL-θ reveals statistically significant trends around the Antarctic vortex in the lower stratosphere, missed in geographical coordinates • Regardless of the complexity of the trend methodology, EqL-θ enhances the robustness and interpretability of the trends and uncertainties
