The significant climate feedback of stratospheric water vapor (SWV) necessitates quantitative estimates SWV budget changes. Model simulations driven by the newest European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast reanalysis ERA5, satellite observations from Stratospheric Water and OzOne Satellite Homogenized data set, Microwave Limb Sounder, in situ frost point hygrometer Boulder all show subst...
