Daily maps of MLS CO mixing ratio at 100 hPa (color shading) on (a) Aug 3, (b) Aug 5, (c) Aug 7, (d) Aug 9, (e) Aug 10, and (f) Aug 14, 2016. The thick gray lines are the 600 hPa contour of surface pressure, indicating the location of the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The regions inside of the white contours represent areas with upward transport (vertical velocity less than −1 Pa/s) at 100 hPa. The five-pointed star indicates maximum of CO mixing ratio in the Asian summer monsoon region.
