Abstract

Using the ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) satellite data and Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM3), the impact of increasing surface emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in East Asia on ozone and temperature in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is investigated.Surface NOx emissions in East Asia can be transported to the tropics and East Asian UTLS region during summer and autumn.In summer, the south Asia anticyclone can transport the NOx in the East Asian UTLS region to the low latitudes.In the UTLS regions, photochemical reactions in the low latitudes are enhanced with the increase of surface NOxemissions in East Asia, resulting in an increasing in the low-latitude ozone concentration which leads to warming in the region in winter; while an intensified cyclic depleting ozone in the middle latitudes resulting in the mid-latitude ozone concentration decreasing which leads to cooling in the region in winter.The meridional gradient of temperature between low latitude and mid-high latitudes in the UTLS region weakens leading to a weakening subtropical jet.Meanwhile, the enhanced meridional gradient of temperature between polar region and middle and high latitudes leads to an enhanced mid-high latitudes westerly jet.The planetary waves entering the stratosphere are inhibited, which is mainly associated with the obviously weakening wave 1 and wave 2 at high latitude.

Key words： East Asia; NOx; UTLS (upper troposph; Ozone
