Abstract: Motivated by global analysis of aircraft-based measurements of air pollutants and climate variables, specifically the COVID-19 pandemic's possible impact on ozone concentrations, a functional autoregressive model is proposed to capture global spatiotemporal variability, incorporating solar radiation cycles. Efficient estimation techniques are developed, and means of suitable visualization are demonstrated, paving the way for similar analyses in the future.
