abstract = {We investigate the influence of different chemical and
physical processes on the water vapour distribution in the
lower stratosphere (LS), in particular in the Asian and
North American monsoon anticyclones (AMA and NAMA,
respectively). Specifically, we use the chemistry transport
model CLaMS to analyse the effects of large-scale
temperatures, methane oxidation, ice microphysics, and
small-scale atmospheric mixing processes in different model
experiments. All these processes hydrate the LS and,
particularly, the AMA. While ice microphysics has the
largest global moistening impact, it is small-scale mixing
which dominates the specific signature in the AMA in the
model experiments. In particular, the small-scale mixing
parameterization strongly contributes to the water vapour
transport to this region and improves the simulation of the
intra-seasonal variability, resulting in a better agreement
with the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) observations.
Although none of our experiments reproduces the spatial
pattern of the NAMA as seen in MLS observations, they all
exhibit a realistic annual cycle and intra-seasonal
variability, which are mainly controlled by large-scale
temperatures. We further analyse the sensitivity of these
results to the domain-filling trajectory set-up, here-called
Lagrangian trajectory filling (LTF). Compared with MLS
observations and with a multiyear reference simulation using
the full-blown chemistry transport model version of CLaMS,
we find that the LTF schemes result in a drier global LS and
in a weaker water vapour signal over the monsoon regions,
which is likely related to the specification of the lower
boundary condition. Overall, our results emphasize the
importance of subgrid-scale mixing and multiple transport
pathways from the troposphere in representing water vapour
in the AMA.},
