abstract = {Atmospheric concentrations of South Asian anthropogenic
aerosols and their transport play a key role in the regional
hydrological cycle. Here, we use the ECHAM6-HAMMOZ
chemistry–climate model to show the structure and
implications of the transport pathways of these aerosols
during spring (March–May). Our simulations indicate that
large amounts of anthropogenic aerosols are transported from
South Asia to the northern Indian Ocean and western Pacific.
These aerosols are then lifted into the upper troposphere
and lower stratosphere (UTLS) by the ascending branch of the
Hadley circulation, where they enter the westerly jet. They
are further transported to the Southern Hemisphere
(∼15–30∘ S) and downward (320–340 K) via
westerly ducts over the tropical Atlantic
(5∘ S–5∘ N, 10–40∘ W) and Pacific
(5∘ S–5∘ N, 95–140∘ E). The carbonaceous
aerosols are also transported to the Arctic, leading to
local heating (0.08–0.3 K per month, an increase by
$10 \%–60 \%).The$ presence of anthropogenic aerosols
causes a negative radiative forcing (RF) at the top of the
atmosphere (TOA) (−0.90 ± 0.089 W m−2) and
surface (−5.87 ± 0.31 W m−2) and atmospheric
warming (+4.96 ± 0.24 W m−2) over South Asia
(60–90∘ E, 8–23∘ N), except over the
Indo-Gangetic Plain (75–83∘ E, 23–30∘ N), where
RF at the TOA is positive (+1.27 ± 0.16 W m−2)
due to large concentrations of absorbing aerosols. The
carbonaceous aerosols lead to in-atmospheric heating along
the aerosol column extending from the boundary layer to the
upper troposphere (0.1 to 0.4 K per month, increase by
$4 \%–60 \%)$ and in the lower stratosphere at
40–90∘ N (0.02 to 0.3 K per month, increase by
$10 \%–60 \%).$ The increase in tropospheric heating
due to aerosols results in an increase in water vapor
concentrations, which are then transported from the northern
Indian Ocean–western Pacific to the UTLS over
45–45∘ N (increasing water vapor by
$1 \%–10 \%).$},
