1 Highlights Long-range transport of SO 2 pollution from emissions in SE Asia investigated Two important air mass pathways studied: - Uplift of emissions by Warm Conveyor Belts (WCBs) associated with low pressure systems and advection by the jet steam - Uplift by emissions by deep convection and transport by Asian Summer monsoon anticyclone in the upper troposphere WCB process may represent a significant source of SO 2 to the UTLS (0.02 Mt S/a ~ SO 2 input by air traffic) Sulfate aerosols are formed in the WCB plumes and ASM anticyclone (represent surface area for heterogeneous chemical reactions and may impact cirrus properties) Composites of SO 2 measurements from 10 years aircraft data produced.
