Interannual Variations of Aerosol Optical Depth over Coastal India: Relation to Synoptic Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Interannual variations in spectral aerosol optical depths (AOD) were examined using the data obtained from a chain of ground-based multiwavelength solar radiometers from various locations of the Indian peninsula during the ...
Sea-Breeze Front Effects on Boundary-layer Aerosols at a Tropical Coastal Station
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of sea breeze on optical depth, size distribution, and columnar loading of aerosols at the tropical coastal station of Trivandrum are studied. It has been observed that sea-breeze front activity results in a ...
Size Distribution of Coastal Aerosols: Effects of Local Sources and Sinks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using aerosol optical depth as a function of wavelength obtained from ground-based multiwavelength radiometer observations, columnar size-distribution functions of aerosols have been derived. It has been found that the ...
Aerosol Characteristics and Radiative Impacts over the Arabian Sea during the Intermonsoon Season: Results from ARMEX Field Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the second phase of the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX-II), extensive measurements of spectral aerosol optical depth, mass concentration, and mass size distribution of ambient aerosols as well as mass ...
Short-Period Modulations in Aerosol Optical Depths over the Central Himalayas: Role of Mesoscale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiyear measurements of spectral aerosol optical depths (AODs) were made at Manora Peak in the central Himalaya Range (29°22?N, 79°27?E, ?1950 m above mean sea level), using a 10-channel multiwavelength solar radiometer ...
Optical and Physical Properties of Atmospheric Aerosols over the Bay of Bengal during ICARB
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous and collocated measurements of total and hemispherical backscattering coefficients (σ and ?, respectively) at three wavelengths, mass size distributions, and columnar spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) were ...
Spatial Gradients in Aerosol-Induced Atmospheric Heating and Surface Dimming over the Oceanic Regions around India: Anthropogenic or Natural?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aking use of the extensive shipboard and aircraft measurements of aerosol properties over the oceanic regions surrounding the Indian peninsula, under the Integrated Campaign for Aerosols, gases and Radiation Budget (ICARB) ...
Long-Range Transport of Mineral Dust to the Northeast Indian Ocean: Regional versus Remote Sources and the Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Synergizing satellite remote sensing data with vertical profiles of atmospheric thermodynamics and regional climate model simulations, we investigate the relative importance, transport pathways, and seasonality of contribution ...
