Editorial statement
This paper reports an observational dataset for the western and the eastern flank of the Asian monsoon anticyclone (ASMA) from the PHILEAS campaign. The findings show that the chemical composition of the ASMA’s outflow is highly variable and there is an interplay between the ASMA and tropical cyclones. This study provides strong support in that the ASMA is an important pathway for transporting short-lived ozone-depleting into the stratosphere. It may help to promote further research on the influence of ASMA’s composition on ozone in the extratropical stratosphere.
Short summary
This work highlights the impact of the Asian summer monsoon on the chemical composition of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. Measurements of trace gases and aerosol particles uplifted by the Asian summer monsoon to higher altitudes are sparse. Here, we had the opportunity to use a whole suite of different measured trace gases and the chemical composition of aerosols, in combination with simulations, to better understand the complex transport and mixing processes in this region.
