abstract = {The variability and trend of ozone (O3) in the Upper
troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS) over the Asian
region needs to be accurately quantified. Ozone in the UTLS
radiatively heats this region and cools the upper parts of
the stratosphere. This results in an impact on relative
humidity, static stability in the UTLS region and tropical
tropopause temperature. A major challenge for understanding
ozone chemistry in the UTLS is sparse observations and thus
the representation of precursor gases in model emission
inventories. Here, we evaluate ozonesonde measurements
during August 2016 at Nainital, in the Himalayas, against
ozone from multiple reanalyses and the ECHAM6-HAMMOZ model.
We find that compared to measurements both reanalyses and
ECHAM6-HAMMOZ control simulation overestimate ozone mixing
ratios in the troposphere (20 ppb) and in the UTLS (55 ppb).
We performed sensitivity simulations using the ECHAM6-HAMMOZ
model for a $50\%$ reduction in the emission of (1) NOx and
(2) VOCs. The model simulations with NOX reduction agree
better with the ozonesonde observations in the lower
troposphere and in the UTLS. Thus, neither reanalyses nor
ECHAM6-HAMMOZ results can reproduce observed O3 over the
South Asian region. For a better representation of O3 in the
ECHAM6-HAMMOZ model, NOX emission should be reduced by
$50\%$ in the emission inventory. A larger number of
observations of ozone and precursor gases over the South
Asian region would improve the assessment of ozone chemistry
in models.},
