Understanding the 1% per year increase of stratospheric water vapour from 1954 to 2000 is a great challenge in atmospheric science. The increase is predominantly caused by long-term changes in transport of water vapour into the stratosphere and systematic increases of tropospheric methane levels. This paper gives a review on stratospheric water vapour changes for the 1980 and 2000 time period with...
