Abstract: Radiative forcing of aerosols is much more difficult to estimate than that of well-mixed gases due to the large spatial variability of aerosols and the lack of an adequate database on their radiative properties. Estimation ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted on two splitter plates of different structural rigidities, attached to a rigid cylinder and exposed to cross-flow at different submergence depths in order to study the influence of free surface. ...
