abstract = {The impact of different boundary layer source regions in
Asia on the chemical composition of the Asian monsoon
anticyclone, considering its intraseasonal variability in
2012, is analysed by simulations of the Chemical Lagrangian
Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) using artificial emission
tracers. The horizontal distribution of simulated CO, O3,
and artificial emission tracers for India/China are in good
agreement with patterns found in satellite measurements of
O3 and CO by the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). Using in
addition, correlations of artificial emission tracers with
potential vorticity demonstrates that the emission tracer
for India/China is a very good proxy for spatial
distribution of trace gases within the Asian monsoon
anticyclone. The Asian monsoon anticyclone constitutes a
horizontal transport barrier for emission tracers and is
highly variable in location and shape. From the end of June
to early August, a northward movement of the anticyclone
and, during September, a strong broadening of the spatial
distribution of the emission tracer for India/China towards
the tropics are found. In addition to the change of the
location of the anticyclone, the contribution of different
boundary source regions to the composition of the Asian
monsoon anticyclone in the upper troposphere strongly
depends on its intraseasonal variability and is therefore
more complex than hitherto believed. The largest
contributions to the composition of the air mass in the
anticyclone are found from northern India and Southeast Asia
at a potential temperature of 380 K. In the early (mid-June
to mid-July) and late (September) period of the 2012 monsoon
season, contributions of emissions from Southeast Asia are
highest; in the intervening period (early August), emissions
from northern India have the largest impact. Our findings
show that the temporal variation of the contribution of
different convective regions is imprinted in the chemical
composition of the Asian monsoon anticyclone.Air masses
originating in Southeast Asia are found both within and
outside of the Asian monsoon anticyclone because these air
masses experience, in addition to transport within the
anticyclone, upward transport at the southeastern flank of
the anticyclone and in the tropics. Subsequently, isentropic
poleward transport of these air masses occurs at around 380
K with the result that the extratropical lowermost
stratosphere in the Northern Hemisphere is flooded by the
end of September with air masses originating in Southeast
Asia. Even after the breakup of the anticyclonic circulation
(around the end of September), significant contributions of
air masses originating in India/China are still found in the
upper troposphere over Asia. Our results demonstrate that
emissions from India, China, and Southeast Asia have a
significant impact on the chemical composition of the
lowermost stratosphere of the Northern Hemisphere, in
particular at the end of the monsoon season in
September/October 2012.},
