Two independent 22-month time intervals of NIMBUS 7 solar backscattered UV (SBUV) ozone and stratospheric and mesospheric sounder (SAMS) temperature measurements for the upper stratosphere at low latitudes are analyzed to calculate mean responses to observed changes in solar ultraviolet spectral irradiance occurring on the time scale of the solar rotation period. Average cross-correlation functions of both SBUV ozone and SAMS temperature versus the solar 205 nm flux are in substantial agreement for these two intervals. Linear regression methods are applied to estimate response amplitudes or sensitivities. The derived sensitivities and phase lags relative to the 205 nm flux are also in approximate agreement for the two separate intervals although the temperature response measurements exhibit larger deviations. These results support the validity of previously reported measurements on the 27-day time scale, and impose firmer constraints on proposed theoretical models for the response of the stratosphere to solar UV forcing on both short and long time scales.
