This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.Time series of stratospheric and lower mesospheric water vapour using 33 data sets from 15 different satellite instruments were compared in the framework of the second SPARC (Stratosphere-troposphere Processes And their Role in Climate) water vapour assessment (WAVAS-II). This comparison aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the typical uncertainties in the observational database that can be considered in the future in observational and modelling studies, e.g addressing stratospheric water vapour trends. The time series comparisons are presented for the three latitude bands, the Antarctic (80°-70°S), the tropics (15°S-15°N) and the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes (50°-60°N) at four different altitudes (0.1, 3, 10 and 80hPa) covering the stratosphere and lower mesosphere. The combined temporal coverage of observations from the 15 satellite instruments allowed the consideration of the time period 1986-2014. In addition to the qualitative comparison of the time series, the agreement of the data sets is assessed quantitatively in the form of the spread (i.e. the difference between the maximum and minimum volume mixing ratios among the data sets), the (Pearson) correlation coefficient and the drift (i.e. linear changes of the difference between time series over time). Generally, good agreement between the time series was found in the middle stratosphere while larger differences were found in the lower mesosphere and near the tropopause. Concerning the latitude bands, the largest differences were found in the Antarctic while the best agreement was found for the tropics. From our assessment we find that most data sets can be considered in future observational and modelling studies, e.g. addressing stratospheric and lower mesospheric water vapour variability and trends, if data set specific characteristics (e.g. drift) and restrictions (e.g. temporal and spatial coverage) are taken into account. © Author(s) 2018.The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE), also known as SCISAT, is a Canadian-led mission mainly supported by the Canadian Space Agency and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. We would like to thank the European Space Agency (ESA) for making the MIPAS level-1b data set available. MLS data were obtained from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences and Information Center. Work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, was done under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. SCIAMACHY spectral data have been provided by ESA. The work on the SCIAMACHY water vapour data products has been funded by DLR (German Aerospace Center) and the University of Bremen. The SCIAMACHY limb water vapour data set v3.01 is a result of the DFG (German Research Council) Research Unit "Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction" (SHARP) and the ESA SPIN (ESA SPARC Initiative) project and were partly calculated using resources of the German HLRN (High-Performance Computer Center North). We would like to thank Mark Hervig for providing the SOFIE data and Takafumi Sugita for providing the ILAS-II data. We acknowledge the HALOE science team and the many members of the HALOE project for producing and characterising the high-quality HALOE data set. Further, we would like to thank Ellis Remsberg for valuable comments on the manuscript. Stefan Lossow was funded by the SHARP project under contract STI 210/9-2. We want to express our gratitude to SPARC and WCRP (World Climate Research Programme) for their guidance, sponsorship and support of the WAVAS-II programme.
