abstract = {Enhanced aerosol abundance in the upper troposphere and
lower stratosphere (UTLS) associated with the Asian summer
monsoon (ASM) is referred to as the Asian Tropopause Aerosol
Layer (ATAL). The chemical composition, microphysical
properties, and climate effects of aerosols in the ATAL have
been the subject of discussion over the past decade. In this
work, we use the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC)
general circulation model at a relatively fine grid
resolution (about 1.1×1.1∘) to numerically simulate the
emissions, chemistry, and transport of aerosols and their
precursors in the UTLS within the ASM anticyclone during the
years 2010–2012. We find a pronounced maximum of aerosol
extinction in the UTLS over the Tibetan Plateau, which to a
large extent is caused by mineral dust emitted from the
northern Tibetan Plateau and slope areas, lofted to an
altitude of at least 10 km, and accumulating within the
anticyclonic circulation. We also find that the emissions
and convection of ammonia in the central main body of the
Tibetan Plateau make a great contribution to the enhancement
of gas-phase NH3 in the UTLS over the Tibetan Plateau and
ASM anticyclone region. Our simulations show that mineral
dust, water-soluble compounds, such as nitrate and sulfate,
and associated liquid water dominate aerosol extinction in
the UTLS within the ASM anticyclone. Due to shielding of
high background sulfate concentrations outside the
anticyclone from volcanoes, a relative minimum of aerosol
extinction within the anticyclone in the lower stratosphere
is simulated, being most pronounced in 2011, when the Nabro
eruption occurred. In contrast to mineral dust and nitrate
concentrations, sulfate increases with increasing altitude
due to the larger volcano effects in the lower stratosphere
compared to the upper troposphere. Our study indicates that
the UTLS over the Tibetan Plateau can act as a well-defined
conduit for natural and anthropogenic gases and aerosols
into the stratosphere.},
