abstract = {The transport of air masses originating from the Asian
monsoon anticyclone into the extratropical upper troposphere
and lower stratosphere (Ex-UTLS) above potential
temperatures Θ = 380 K was identified during the
HALO aircraft mission TACTS in August and September 2012. In
situ measurements of CO, O3 and N2O during TACTS flight 2 on
30 August 2012 show the irreversible mixing of aged
stratospheric air masses with younger (recently transported
from the troposphere) ones within the Ex-UTLS. Backward
trajectories calculated with the trajectory module of CLaMS
indicate that these tropospherically affected air masses
originate from the Asian monsoon anticyclone. These air
masses are subsequently transported above potential
temperatures Θ = 380 K from the monsoon
circulation region into the Ex-UTLS, where they subsequently
mix with stratospheric air masses. The overall trace gas
distribution measured during TACTS shows that this transport
pathway had affected the chemical composition of the Ex-UTLS
during boreal summer and autumn 2012. This leads to an
intensification of the tropospheric influence on the
extratropical lower stratosphere with PV > 8 pvu
within 3 weeks during the TACTS mission. During the same
time period a weakening of the tropospheric influence on the
lowermost stratosphere (LMS) is determined. The study shows
that the transport of air masses originating from the Asian
summer monsoon region within the lower stratosphere affects
the change in the chemical composition of the Ex-UTLS over
Europe and thus contributes to the flushing of the LMS
during summer 2012.},
