                         troposphere during the June 2013 haze crisis. WRF-Chem is used to 
                         simulate the formation and transport of biomass-burning haze 
                         during the study period of 18th to 26th June 2013. The 
                         South-Southeast Asian synoptic weather patterns and their effects 
                         on the transport of biomass-burning emissions from Sumatra to 
                         Peninsular Malaysia were studied computationally to explain the 
                         phenomenon. Results show that PM10 emissions were lifted to 200 
                         hPa height (approximately 12 km) over the Strait of Malacca on 
                         24th June. The two identified vertical transport mechanisms 
                         confirmed a previously conjectured convergence over the Strait of 
                         Malacca and orographic lifting over Peninsular Malaysia. These 
                         mechanisms were able to uplift the biomass-burning emissions to 
                         the upper troposphere and this could have significant long-range 
                         transport and global climatic effects.",
