Chemical isolation in the Asian monsoon anticyclone observed in Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE-FTS) data
Evidence of chemical isolation in the Asian monsoon anticyclone is presented using chemical constituents obtained from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer instrument during summer (June–August) of 2004–2006. Carbon monoxide (CO) shows a broad maximum over the monsoon anticyclone region in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS); these enhanced CO valu...
متن کاملTransport pathways from the Asian monsoon anticyclone to the stratosphere
Transport pathways of air originating in the uppertropospheric Asian monsoon anticyclone are investigated based on three-dimensional trajectories. The Asian monsoon anticyclone emerges in response to persistent deep convection over India and southeast Asia in northern summer, and this convection is associated with rapid transport from the surface to the upper troposphere and possibly into the s...
متن کاملConvective outflow of South Asian pollution: A global CTM simulation compared with EOS MLS observations
[1] A global 3-D chemical transport model is used to analyze observations of carbon monoxide (CO) and upper tropospheric clouds from the EOS Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). MLS observations during 25 August–6 September 2004 reveal elevated CO and dense high clouds in the upper troposphere over the Tibetan plateau and southwest China, collocating with the upper level Tibetan anticyclone. Model sim...
متن کاملThunderstorms and upper troposphere chemistry during the early stages of the 2006 North American Monsoon
To study the meteorology and chemistry that is associated with the early stages of the North American Monsoon, the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) is applied for the first time at high resolution (4 km grid spacing, allowing for explicit representation of convection) over a large region (continental US and northern Mexico) for a multi-week (15 July to 7 ...
متن کاملOn the Summertime Strengthening of the Northern Hemisphere Pacific Sea-Level Pressure Anticyclone
This study revisits the question posed by Hoskins on why the Northern Hemisphere Pacific sea level pressure (SLP) anticyclone is strongest and maximally extended in summer when the Hadley cell descent in the northern subtropics is the weakest. The paradoxical evolution is revisited because anticyclone buildup to the majestic summer structure is gradual, spread evenly over the preceding 4–6 mont...
