abstract = {Global simulations with the Chemical Lagrangian Model of
the Stratosphere (CLaMS) using artificial tracers of air
mass origin are used to analyze transport mechanisms from
the Asian monsoon region into the lower stratosphere. In a
case study, the transport of air masses from the Asian
monsoon anticyclone originating in India/China by an
eastward-migrating anticyclone which broke off from the main
anticyclone on 20 September 2012 and filaments separated at
the northeastern flank of the anticyclone are analyzed.
Enhanced contributions of young air masses (younger than 5
months) are found within the separated anticyclone confined
at the top by the thermal tropopause. Further, these air
masses are confined by the anticyclonic circulation and, on
the polar side, by the subtropical jet such that the
vertical structure resembles a bubble within the upper
troposphere. Subsequently, these air masses are transported
eastwards along the subtropical jet and enter the lower
stratosphere by quasi-horizontal transport in a region of
double tropopauses most likely associated with Rossby wave
breaking events. As a result, thin filaments with enhanced
signatures of tropospheric trace gases were measured in the
lower stratosphere over Europe during the TACTS/ESMVal
campaign in September 2012 in very good agreement with CLaMS
simulations. Our simulations demonstrate that source regions
in Asia and in the Pacific Ocean have a significant impact
on the chemical composition of the lower stratosphere of the
Northern Hemisphere. Young, moist air masses, in particular
at the end of the monsoon season in September/October 2012,
flooded the extratropical lower stratosphere in the Northern
Hemisphere with contributions of up to $ ≈ 30 \%$
at 380 K (with the remaining fraction being aged air). In
contrast, the contribution of young air masses to the
Southern Hemisphere is much lower. At the end of October
2012, approximately 1.5 ppmv H2O is found in the lower
Northern Hemisphere stratosphere (at 380 K) from source
regions both in Asia and in the tropical Pacific compared to
a mean water vapor content of ≈ 5 ppmv. In
addition to this main transport pathway from the Asian
monsoon anticyclone to the east along the subtropical jet
and subsequent transport into the northern lower
stratosphere, a second horizontal transport pathway out of
the anticyclone to the west into the tropics (TTL) is found
in agreement with MIPAS HCFC-22 measurements.},
