This dataset contains zonally averaged data from NASA's Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and NASA's Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite -Limb Profiler (OMPS-LP) satellite retrievals of the aerosol extinction coefficient and ozone anomalies during 2020. These data were used for the experiments of Damany-Pearce et al. in the publication "Australian Wildfires cause the largest stratospheric warming since Pinatubo and extends the lifetime of the Antarctic ozone hole" 2022.

The ozone anomalies are given at monthly intervals, throughout all of 2020, at 1˚ latitude bands over the whole Southern Hemisphere, based on OMPS-LP retrievals. The aerosol extinction coefficient anomalies are given at weekly intervals, from 2020-12-29 through to the end of 2020, at 10˚ latitude bands from 20˚S to 70˚S. These are given as a combined dataset based off both CALIOP and OMPS-LP retrievals, the full details of how the retrievals were combined and all anomalies were calculated is outlined in Damany-Pearce et al., (2020). NetCDF files of the total uncertainty in both the CALIOP and OMPS-LP retrieved aerosol extinction coefficient anomalies are also included.

The dataset also includes 8 files that would be needed to reproduce the experiments of Damany-Pearce et al. (2022) on the (UK Earth System Model) UKESM1 platform, these are the satellite retrievals of aerosol extinction coefficient and ozone anomalies, that have been converted into the input required by UKESM1 and full descriptions of these are provided in the readme.txt file.
