The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts'(ECMWF's) next-generation
reanalysis ERA5 provides many improvements, but it also confronts the community with a …

Water vapor plays an important role in many aspects of the climate system, by affecting
radiation, cloud formation, atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. Even the low stratospheric …

Atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide have
increased substantially because of human activities. However, their sources in South Asia …

We have performed backward trajectory calculations and simulations with the three-
dimensional Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) for two succeeding …

During the Asian monsoon season, greenhouse gases and pollution emitted near the
ground are rapidly uplifted by convection up to an altitude of∼ 13 km, with slower ascent …

The significant climate feedback of stratospheric water vapor (SWV) necessitates
quantitative estimates of SWV budget changes. Model simulations driven by the newest …

Pollution transport from the surface to the stratosphere within the Asian monsoon circulation
may cause harmful effects on stratospheric chemistry and climate. Here, we investigate air …

Stratospheric water vapor increases are expected in response to greenhouse gas-forced
climate warming, and these changes act as a positive feedback to surface climate. Previous …

Monitoring and modeling of volcanic plumes are important for understanding the impact of
volcanic activity on climate and for practical concerns, such as aviation safety or public …

Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon is associated with a large-scale anticyclonic
circulation in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS), which confines the air …
