abstract = {The Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL) is present during
the Asian summer monsoon season affecting the radiative
balance of the atmosphere. However, the source regions and
transport pathways of ATAL particles are still uncertain.
Here, we investigate transport pathways from different
regions at the model boundary layer (MBL) to the ATAL by
combining two Lagrangian transport models (CLaMS, Chemical
Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere; MPTRAC,
Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations) with balloon-borne
measurements of the ATAL performed by the Compact Optical
Backscatter Aerosol Detector (COBALD) above Nainital (India)
in August 2016. Trajectories are initialised at the measured
location of the ATAL and calculated 90 d backwards in time
to investigate the relation between the measured, daily
averaged, aerosol backscatter ratio and source regions at
the MBL. Different simulation scenarios are performed to
find differences and robust patterns when the reanalysis
data (ERA5 or ERA-Interim), the trajectory model, the
vertical coordinate (kinematic and diabatic approach) or the
convective parameterisation are varied. The robust finding
among all scenarios is that the largest continental air mass
contributions originate from the Tibetan Plateau and the
Indian subcontinent (mostly the Indo-Gangetic Plain), and
the largest maritime air mass contributions in Asia come
from the western Pacific (e.g. related to tropical
cyclones). Additionally, all simulation scenarios indicate
that the transport of maritime air from the tropical western
Pacific to the region of the ATAL lowers the backscatter
ratio (BSR) of the ATAL, while most scenarios indicate that
the transport of polluted air from the Indo-Gangetic Plain
increases the BSR. While the results corroborate key
findings from previous ERA-Interim-based studies, they also
highlight the variability in the contributions of different
MBL regions to the ATAL depending on different simulation
scenarios.},
