abstract = {Measurements of the pollution trace gases ethane (C2H6),
ethyne (C2H2), formic acid (HCOOH), and peroxyacetyl nitrate
(PAN) were performed in the North Atlantic upper troposphere
and lowermost stratosphere (UTLS) region with the airborne
limb imager GLORIA (Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance
Imaging of the Atmosphere) with high spatial resolution down
to cloud top. Observations were made during flights with the
German research aircraft HALO (High Altitude and LOng Range
Research Aircraft) in the frame of the WISE (Wave-driven
ISentropic Exchange) campaign, which was carried out in
autumn 2017 from Shannon (Ireland) and Oberpfaffenhofen
(Germany). Enhanced volume mixing ratios (VMRs) of up to
2.2 ppbv C2H6, 0.2 ppbv C2H2, 0.9 ppbv HCOOH, and
0.4 ppbv PAN were detected during the flight on 13
September 2017 in the upper troposphere and around the
tropopause above the British Isles. Elevated quantities of
PAN were measured even in the lowermost stratosphere
(locally up to 14 km), likely reflecting the fact that
this molecule has the longest lifetime of the four species
discussed herein. Backward trajectory calculations as well
as global three-dimensional Chemical Lagrangian Model of the
Stratosphere (CLaMS) simulations with artificial tracers of
air mass origin have shown that the main sources of the
observed pollutant species are forest fires in North America
and anthropogenic pollution in South Asia and Southeast Asia
uplifted and moved within the Asian monsoon anticyclone
(AMA) circulation system. After release from the AMA, these
species or their precursor substances are transported by
strong tropospheric winds over large distances, depending on
their particular atmospheric lifetime of up to months.
Observations are compared to simulations with the
atmospheric models EMAC (ECHAM5/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry)
and CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service). These
models are qualitatively able to reproduce the measured VMR
enhancements but underestimate the absolute amount of the
increase. Increasing the emissions in EMAC by a factor of 2
reduces the disagreement between simulated and measured
results and illustrates the importance of the quality of
emission databases used in chemical models.},
