abstract = {The Asian monsoon anticyclone (AMA) represents one of the
wettest regions in the lower stratosphere (LS) and is a key
contributor to the global annual maximum in LS water vapour.
While the AMA wet pool is linked with persistent convection
in the region and horizontal confinement of the anticyclone,
there remain ambiguities regarding the role of
tropopause-overshooting convection in maintaining the
regional LS water vapour maximum. This study tackles this
issue using a unique set of observations from aboard the
high-altitude M55-Geophysica aircraft deployed in Nepal in
summer 2017 within the EU StratoClim project. We use a
combination of airborne measurements (water vapour, ice
water, water isotopes, cloud backscatter) together with
ensemble trajectory modelling coupled with satellite
observations to characterize the processes controlling water
vapour and clouds in the confined lower stratosphere (CLS)
of the AMA. Our analysis puts in evidence the dual role of
overshooting convection, which may lead to hydration or
dehydration depending on the synoptic-scale tropopause
temperatures in the AMA. We show that all of the observed
CLS water vapour enhancements are traceable to convective
events within the AMA and furthermore bear an isotopic
signature of the overshooting process. A surprising result
is that the plumes of moist air with mixing ratios nearly
twice the background level can persist for weeks whilst
recirculating within the anticyclone, without being subject
to irreversible dehydration through ice settling. Our
findings highlight the importance of convection and
recirculation within the AMA for the transport of water into
the stratosphere.},
