TL;DR: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) documented this Indo-Asian haze at scales ranging from individual particles to its contribution to the regional climate forcing as discussed by the authors, and integrated the multiplatform observations (satellites, aircraft, ships, surface stations, and balloons) with one-and four-dimensional models to derive the regional aerosol forcing resulting from the direct, the semidirect and the two indirect effects.

TL;DR: In this article, columnar aerosol optical depth (AOD) over Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean was derived for the 630 nm wavelength from the radiance in channel 1 (580-680 nm) of AVHRR.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the regional estimates of the seasonal and diurnal mean broadband (0.3-5.0 μm) clear-sky aerosol radiative forcing at the top of atmosphere (TOA) due to both the natural and the anthropogenic aerosols over the tropical Indian Ocean from 25°N to 25°S.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the long-term monthly mean distributions of deep clouds and the regional differences in the cloud top brightness temperature (CTBT) over the Indian subcontinent and the surrounding oceanic regions (the northern and eastern BoB, the southeast Arabian Sea, and the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean) using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer data for a period of 10 years and are compared with the direct observations of cloud top altitude (CTA) using Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the spatial and vertical distributions of aerosols over the Arabian Sea and adjoining continents using multi-year data from MODIS and CALIPSO and explore the genesis of the above abnormal enhancement in AOD.
