The possible influence of solar UV variability on upper stratospheric and mesospheric ozone is examined from a theoretical and an observational point of view. The development and results of a one-dimensional, time-dependent radiative-photochemical model of the middle atmosphere is described in detail. The temporally varying, Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME)-measured solar UV irradiances are used as a basic input to examine the response of ozone to short-term solar UV variations on the time scale of the solar rotation period. The importance of the coupling of the radiation field to the photochemistry is emphasized. Then, the model is applied to the interpretation of ozone measurements made by the ultraviolet spectrometer on board SME. These data are analyzed using both frequency and time domain techniques, and the results are compared to calculations from the radiative-photochemical model using temporally varying solar ultraviolet irradiances as input.
