Distribution of seasonal mean (July–September) aerosol extinction (1E-4 km−1) zonal cross section (23–40°N) from ECHAM5-HAMMOZ model simulations (a) aeronCL, (b) aeronEL, (c) difference between aeronEL and aeronCL, (d–f) same as (a–c) but for black carbon aerosols (ng•m−3), (g–i) same as (a–c) but for sulfate aerosols (ng•m−3). Wind vectors in (d–f,i) are obtained from model simulations. The vertical velocity field has been scaled by 300 m•s−1 (Figure created using the COLA/GrADS software).
