Short summary

This paper investigates the passage of the ozone secondary effect (OSE) over southern Brazil and Uruguay in October 2016 by using multi-instrumental data, i.e. ozonesonde, satellites and ground-based instruments, and the large OSE influence on the ozone concentration and on the temperature was shown.
