Description
The Stratospheric Water and Ozone Satellite Homogenized (SWOOSH) database is a monthly mean merged data set of vertically resolved ozone and water vapor data from a subset of limb profiling instruments operating since the 1980s. In this presentation, we summarize recent updates and improvements to SWOOSH ozone data that were made as part of the current version 2.7. Changes include updated versions of existing data sets, new sources of data, and additional ancillary information for quantifying uncertainties. We also assess the impact on variability and trends due to the source data updates (e.g., Aura MLS v5.0) and inclusion of new satellite records to SWOOSH from ACE-FTS, SAGE III/ISS, and OMPS-Limb Profiler. Finally, we discuss plans to continue the SWOOSH record following the expected loss of Aura MLS in the coming years, and the potential impacts of this loss on the uncertainty of the SWOOSH merged record.
