Deep Convective transport of anthropogenic pollution:F6 06/08/2017
CO plume injection at 100hPa forecasted from CAMS
South-China sources from backtrajectories,associated with the measured anomalies of
CO
South China air: • relatively young (~1.5 days). Quite
High convection (level of injection ~16 km).
• In a cloud, with ice particles. Highest 100 hPa peak of CO.

Fresh Deep Convective outflow + Typhoon air:F8 10/08/2017
15-min resolution VIS images from MSG1
Intense Convection starts around 7:00 UTC and lasts for around 4 hoursFirst part of the flight was on the top of the convective tower
then it flies in an increasingly older (but still very fresh) outflow

Fresh Deep Convective outflow + Typhoon air:F8 10/08/2017
Decreasing CO, Increasing O3, less convection, more recirculating air. On top of it few spots of intense convective influence
After it: Typhoon air outflow!

Trajectory + convective activity from satellite: better fit with in situ measurements when using ERA 5 Diabatic winds.
Very young convective air (age <1 hour to few hours) and young convective air (~1-2 days) associated to intense overshoot cases or recent outflow (injection above 16 km) , observed over the southern Himalayan foothills and the South China region (especially Sichuan basin and Eastern center China).
Other dominant source is the Indian-Subcontinent, sampled in recirculating air with longer time of transport (~2 weeks) and associated to lower CO values.
Vertical distribution of convective impact suggests the higher influence of convective outflow around 16-17 km. There, the time of transport from convective sources is around 1 week. Above this level, convective contribution radically decreases and the age of transport reaches times of the order of 20 days or more.
