Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5, aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 µm) impacts the
climate, reduces visibility and severely influences human health. The Indo-Gangetic Plain …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a leading contributor to diseases in
India. Previous studies analysing emission source attributions were restricted by coarse …

The interactions between aerosol and cloud play a vital role in global climate change and
associated with one of the largest uncertainties. In last few decades, due to unique …

Aerosol distribution at global and regional scales is one of the crucial parameters for climate
change assessment. The study presents global spatio-temporal variations in aerosol optical …

Aerosol emissions from human activities are extensive and changing rapidly over Asia.
Model simulations and satellite observations indicate a dipole pattern in aerosol emissions …

The impact of aerosols, especially the absorbing aerosols, in the Himalayan region is
important for climate. We closely examine ground-based high-quality observations of …

This study, based on new and high quality in situ observations, quantifies for the first time,
the individual contributions of light-absorbing aerosols (black carbon (BC), brown carbon …

Aerosols continue to contribute the largest uncertainty in climate change. Over Asia, a global
aerosol hotspot, spatial patterns of aerosol emissions are changing mainly because of …

Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) emissions from anthropogenic, open
burning, and biogenic sources, and their formation into secondary organic aerosols (SOA) …

A comprehensive investigation of physical, optical, and chemical characteristics of columnar
aerosols over two locations with distinct environmental settings in the Indo-Gangetic Plain …
