Figure 1 CO concentration ppbv observed by Microwave Limb Sounder MLS above 215 hPa and MOPITT Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere 500 hPa in the period 2005-2010. Black contours mark the region where OLR ≤ 220 W m -2 . Arrows indicate horizontal wind fields at each level. Columns from left to right are means of January, April, July, and October, respectively. Rows from top to bottom are at altitudes of 68 hPa, 100 hPa, 146 hPa, 215 hPa, and 500 hPa, respectively.
