abstract = {We analyze temporal trends of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN)
retrievals from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive
Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) during 2002–2011 in the
altitude range 8–23 km over the Asian summer monsoon (ASM)
region. The greatest enhancements of PAN mixing ratios in
the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) are seen
during the summer monsoon season from June to September.
During the monsoon season, the mole fractions of PAN show
statistically significant (at 2σ) positive trends from 0.2
± 0.05 to 4.6 ± 3.1 ppt yr−1 (except between 12 and 14
km) which is higher than the annual mean trends of 0.1 ±
0.05 to 2.7 ± 0.8 ppt yr−1. These rising concentrations
point to increasing NOx (= NO + NO2) and volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from developing nations in Asia,
notably India and China.We analyze the influence of monsoon
convection on the distribution of PAN in UTLS with
simulations using the global chemistry–climate model
ECHAM5-HAMMOZ. During the monsoon, transport into the UTLS
over the Asian region primarily occurs from two convective
zones, one the South China Sea and the other over the
southern flank of the Himalayas.India and China host
NOx-limited regimes for ozone photochemical production, and
thus we use the model to evaluate the contributions from
enhanced NOx emissions to the changes in PAN, HNO3 and O3
concentrations in the UTLS. From a set of sensitivity
experiments with emission changes in particular regions, it
can be concluded that Chinese emissions have a greater
impact on the concentrations of these species than Indian
emissions. According to SCanning Imaging Absorption
SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) NO2
retrievals NOx emissions increases over India have been
about half of those over China between 2002 and 2011.},
