abstract = {Aerosol particles with diameters larger than 40 nm were
collected during the flight campaign StratoClim 2017 within
the Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL) of the 2017
monsoon anticyclone above the Indian subcontinent. A
multi-impactor system was installed on board the aircraft
M-55 Geophysica, which was operated from Kathmandu, Nepal.
The size and chemical composition of more than 5000
refractory particles/inclusions of 17 selected particle
samples from seven different flights were analyzed by use of
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX)
microanalysis. Based on chemical composition and morphology,
the refractory particles were assigned to the following
particle groups: extraterrestrial, silicates, Fe-rich,
Al-rich, Hg-rich, other metals, C-rich, soot, Cl-rich, and
Ca-rich.Most abundant particle groups within the refractory
particles are silicates and C-rich (non-volatile organics).
In samples taken above the tropopause, extraterrestrial
particles are becoming increasingly important with rising
altitude. The most frequent particle sources for the small
(maximum in size distribution DP-max=120 nm) refractory
particles carried into the ATAL are combustion processes at
the ground (burning of fossil fuels/biomass burning) and the
agitation of soil material. The refractory particles in the
ATAL represent only a very small fraction $(< 2 \%$ by
number for particles > 40 nm) of the total aerosol
particles, which are dominated by species like ammonium,
sulfate, nitrate, and volatile organics. During one flight,
a large number of very small (DP-max=25 nm) cinnabar
particles (HgS) were detected, which are supposed to
originate from a ground source such as coal combustion or
underground coal fires.},
