abstract = {Airborne in situ observations during the Convective
Transport of Active Species in the Tropics campaign in
January–February 2014 revealed a large region over the
tropical western Pacific where the midtroposphere had a
layered structure with a distinct chemical signature of high
ozone and low water vapor (HOLW). The observed
anticorrelation between ozone and water vapor is a strong
indication of transport from the midlatitude upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere. This work presents a
diagnosis of stratospheric air in the tropical western
Pacific midtroposphere through isentropic transport and
mixing. Using the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the
Stratosphere, we characterize and quantify the contribution
of transported stratospheric air to the observed HOLW
layers. The result indicates that the isentropic transport
is an effective process for stratospheric air to mix into
the tropical midtroposphere. Using the modeled stratospheric
tracer and 3‐D back trajectories, we identified that
$60\%$ of the observed HOLW air masses contain significant
stratospheric influence. We have also examined possible
contribution to the HOLW layer from ozone production related
to biomass burning emissions. Clear chemical signature of
this process is found in $∼8\%$ of the HOLW air masses,
identified by positive correlations among O3, HCN, and CO.
This analysis provides the first quantitative diagnosis of
the contribution from the stratosphere‐to‐troposphere
transport, highlights the importance of mixing in chemical
transport, and demonstrates the limitations of pure
Lagrangian trajectory calculations in quantifying
transport.},
