abstract = {Pollution transport from the surface to the stratosphere
within the Asian monsoon circulation may cause harmful
effects on stratospheric chemistry and climate. Here, we
investigate air mass transport from the monsoon anticyclone
into the stratosphere using a Lagrangian chemistry transport
model. We show how two main transport pathways from the
anticyclone emerge: (i) into the tropical stratosphere
(tropical pipe), and (ii) into the Northern Hemisphere (NH)
extratropical lower stratosphere. Maximum anticyclone air
mass fractions reach around $5 \%$ in the tropical pipe
and $15 \%$ in the extratropical lowermost stratosphere
over the course of a year. The anticyclone air mass fraction
correlates well with satellite hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and
carbon monoxide (CO) observations, confirming that pollution
is transported deep into the tropical stratosphere from the
Asian monsoon anticyclone. Cross-tropopause transport occurs
in a vertical chimney, but with the pollutants transported
quasi-horizontally along isentropes above the tropopause
into the tropics and NH.},
