1. Anticyclone Transport
Strat Ozone 150 hPa
• …
Anthro 150 hPa
Lightning NO
2. Pollution over Northern Bay of Bengal, Nepal
Anthro emissions
• Weak transport of pollution from India over BoB
• Pollution over Nepal mainly from India
3. Outflow from cumulus, cloud processing
Anthro, 25-day soluble tracer
• Low values of soluble tracer indicate extensive cloud processing of air at 200 hPa
• Significant biogenic tracers aloft over Borneo to west of Sumatra
Lightning NO
Anthro, 25-day tracer biogenic, 5-day tracer
4. Tropospheric chemistry source characterization
Fire tracer 850 hPa
• India anthro & biogenic emissions could be sampled over Bay of B.
• SE Asia emissions complicated by typhoons
Anthro tracer 850 hPa
Isoprene emissions tracer 850 hPa
5. Ship track study
• N. of Sumatra
6. TTL Cirrus heating rates
• Looking for cirrus over clear water
7. Cirrus microphysics
• Looking for extensive cirrus coverage
8. Smoke radiative heating rates13. Biomass burning
CO Biomass Burning 150 mb CO Biomass Burning 850 mb
• Burning on Borneo and Sumatra• Small amount convected above
Sumatra
10. Mixing into TTL
• Weak strat ozone over Malaysia
Strat Ozone 150 mb
CO Anthro 150 mb
11. ACE satellite retrievals12. Aerosol retrievals through clouds 14. CALIPSO and CloudSat retrievals
