Short summary

This paper describes the inversion of O₃ data from MIPAS middle atmosphere spectra which requires non-LTE. The O₃ dataset comprises from 20 to 100 km, has a pole-to-pole latitude coverage, day and nighttime, and span from 2005 until 2012. A validation of the data against other satellite measurements and an overall description of O₃ is also presented. This is an important dataset for the community and describes the major characteristics of stratospheric and mesospheric O₃.
