The increasing severity of droughts/floods and worsening air quality from increasing
aerosols in Asia monsoon regions are the two gravest threats facing over 60% of the world …

Southern Asia, extending from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Indonesia and Papua New
Guinea, is one of the most heavily populated regions of the world. Biofuel and biomass …

Abstract Since the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan (air clean plan) issued in
2013, air quality has been in continuous improvement. The second stage of air clean plan …

Both in-situ and space-borne observations reveal an extremely high loading of particulates
over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), all year around. With a burgeoning population and …

Air pollution is growing fastest in monsoon-affected South Asia. During the dry winter
monsoon, the fumes disperse toward the Indian Ocean, creating a vast pollution haze, but …

One seventh of the world's population lives in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) and the fertile
region sustains agricultural food crop production for much of South Asia, yet it remains one …

This study presents annual simulations of tropospheric ozone and related species made for
the first time using the WRF-Chem model over South Asia for the year 2008. The model …

Wide‐ranging multi‐platform data from a major field campaign conducted over Indian region
was used to estimate the energy absorbed in ten layers of the atmosphere. We found that …

High aerosol loading over the northern Indian subcontinent can result in poor air quality
leading to human health consequences and climate perturbations. The international 2008 …

While the demand for enhancing rainfall through cloud seeding is strong and persistent in
the country, considerable uncertainty exists on the success of such an endeavour at a given …
