1 ACE-FTS observations of short-lived reactive species in the UTLS Mijeong Park 1, Bill Randel 1, Louisa Emmons 1, Shawn Honomichl 1, Peter Bernath 2, Kaley Walker 2, and Chris Boone 2 1 ACOM/NCAR and 2 ACE-FTS Science Team Workshop on Dynamics, Transport and Chemistry of the UTLS Asian Monsoon March 7-10, 2016, NCAR Foothills Laboratory

2 Key Questions 1. Behavior of short-lived species in the UTLS region measured by ACE-FTS. - Influence of sources, convection and transport - Asian vs. North American monsoons 2. Comparison of ACE-FTS measurements with insitu measurements and global model outputs. How much can we believe ACE-FTS? 2

25 Summary 1. Short-lived species (HCOOH, H 2 O, CH 3 OH) measured by ACE-FTS show similar behavior with CO over the Asian monsoon region. 2. However, those species show relative enhancement over the N. American monsoon region, which is different from CO. 3. Different sources (e.g., biogenic) may contribute enhancement in CH 3 OH over N. America with possible link to local convection. 4. Comparison of ACE-FTS with in-situ measurements and CAM-chem simulations suggests positive outlook. 25
