This paper reports on wave activity observed in stratospheric temperature and ozone density by the microwave limb sounder (MLS) on board the upper atmosphere research satellite (UARS), during the 1992 southern winter. The satellite observes both stationary and travelling waves, and finds a correlation between the wave activity of the temperature and ozone. This indicates that transport of ozone is being accomplished by the wave activity.
