ASM convection plays an important role in efficient vertical transport from the surface to the upper-level anticyclone. In this paper we investigate the potential impact of enhanced anthropogenic nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions on the distribution of ozone in the UTLS using the fully coupled aerosol–chemistry–climate model, ECHAM5-HAMMOZ. Ozone in the UTLS is influenced both by the convective uplift of ozone precursors and by the uplift of enhanced-NOx-induced tropospheric ozone anomalies. We performed anthropogenic NOx emission sensitivity experiments over India and China. In these simulations, covering the years 2000–2010, anthropogenic NOx emissions have been increased by $38 \%$ over India and by $73 \%$ over China with respect to the emission base year 2000. These emission increases are comparable to the observed linear trends of $3.8 \%$ per year over India and $7.3 \%$ per year over China during the period 2000 to 2010. Enhanced NOx emissions over India by $38 \%$ and China by $73 \%$ increase the ozone radiative forcing in the ASM anticyclone (15–40° N, 60–120° E) by 16.3 and 78.5 mW m−2 respectively. These elevated NOx emissions produce significant warming over the Tibetan Plateau and increase precipitation over India due to a strengthening of the monsoon Hadley circulation. However, increase in NOx emissions over India by $73 \%$ (similar to the observed increase over China) results in large ozone production over the Indo-Gangetic Plain and Tibetan Plateau. The higher ozone concentrations, in turn, induce a reversed monsoon Hadley circulation and negative precipitation anomalies over India. The associated subsidence suppresses vertical transport of NOx and ozone into the ASM anticyclone.}, cin = {IEK-7}, ddc = {550}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-7-20101013}, pnm = {244 - Composition and dynamics of the upper troposphere and middle atmosphere (POF3-244)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-244}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, UT = {WOS:000394604000004}, doi = {10.5194/acp-17-1297-2017}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/826977}, }
