The Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone (ASMA) plays a critical role in trapping, transporting, and redistributing water vapour in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, particularly into the extratropical lower stratosphere. Comparison of ERA5 reanalysis data with remote sensing data and simulations with the model ICON-CLM in convection-parameterized (12 km grid spacing) and convection-permitting (3.3 km) set-ups indicate that the transport into the ASMA is overestimated in ERA5 over the Tibetan plateau (Singh & Ahrens 2023). This presentation critically discusses the water vapour transport into the upper-troposphere/lower-stratosphere by deep convective events over the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayas – an area identified as hotspot for troposphere-stratosphere exchange (Škerlak et al. 2014) using convection-parameterized reanalysis data. Our investigations use a decade-long ICON-CLM climate-like simulation (Collier et al. 2024) performed as a contribution to the CORDEX flagship pilot study Convection-Permitting Third Pole (CPTP).
