Short summary

During the Asian Monsoon, pollutants are uplifted to the upper troposphere where they are trapped within the large scale Asian monsoon anticyclone. Among these pollutants are O₃ precursors such as nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and carbon monoxide (CO). Based on satellite observations and model simulations, we have estimated the impact of anthropogenic and natural sources on O₃ in the monsoon anticyclone. Our results show that Asian pollution and LiNO_x have comparable contributions.
