Short summary
Tropopause temperature and height serve as key indicators of anthropogenic climate change. However, monitoring their variability remains challenging due to the sparse distribution of observation stations, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. To address this, we compared temperature profiles from three datasets—SHADOZ, COSMIC-1, and MERRA-2—to assess their similarities and differences and to develop a refined dataset for trend analysis.
