abstract = {On a research flight on 10 July 2008, the German research
aircraft Falcon sampled an air mass with unusually high
carbon monoxide (CO), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and water
vapour (H2O) mixing ratios in the Arctic lowermost
stratosphere. The air mass was encountered twice at an
altitude of 11.3 km, similar to 800 m above the dynamical
tropopause. In-situ measurements of ozone, NO, and NOy
indicate that this layer was a mixed air mass containing
both air from the troposphere and stratosphere. Backward
trajectory and Lagrangian particle dispersion model analysis
suggest that the Falcon sampled the top of a polluted air
mass originating from the coastal regions of East Asia. The
anthropogenic pollution plume experienced strong uplift in a
warm conveyor belt (WCB) located over the Russian
east-coast. Subsequently the Asian air mass was transported
across the North Pole into the sampling area, elevating the
local tropopause by up to similar to 3 km. Mixing with
surrounding Arctic stratospheric air most likely took place
during the horizontal transport when the tropospheric
streamer was stretched into long and narrow filaments. The
mechanism illustrated in this study possibly presents an
important pathway to transport pollution into the polar
tropopause region.},
