A Method to Estimate Aerosol Radiative Forcing from Spectral Optical Depths
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
