Short summary

The Extrapolar SWIFT model is a fast yet accurate stratospheric ozone chemistry module for global climate models. The importance of feedbacks between the climate system and the ozone layer has been demonstrated in previous studies. Therefore it is desirable to include an interactive ozone layer in climate simulations. However, ensemble simulations in particular have strict computational constraints. The Extrapolar SWIFT model provides an interactive ozone layer with small computational costs.
