Journal ArticleDOI
Wintertime aerosol characteristics over the Indo‐Gangetic Plain (IGP): Impacts of local boundary layer processes and long‐range transport
Vijayakumar S. Nair,K. Krishna Moorthy,Denny P. Alappattu,P. K. Kunhikrishnan,Susan K. George,Prabha R. Nair,S. Suresh Babu,B. Abish,Sathianeson Satheesh,Sachchida Nand Tripathi,K. Niranjan,B. L. Madhavan,V. Srikant,C. B. S. Dutt,K. V. S. Badarinath,R. Ramakrishna Reddy +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of mesoscale processes associated with changes in the local atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and examined the changes as the season changes over to spring and summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal and seasonal variability of surface ozone and NOx at a tropical coastal site: Association with mesoscale and synoptic meteorological conditions
Liji Mary David,Prabha R. Nair +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the diurnal and seasonal patterns of ozone and its precursor, NOx, and also the interdependence of these two chemical species were investigated at the tropical coastal location of Trivandrum (8.55°N, 77°E).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal variations in surface ozone at Thumba (8.6°N, 77°E): a tropical coastal site in India
Prabha R. Nair,Duli Chand,Shyam Lal,K. S. Modh,Manish Naja,K Parameswaran,S Ravindran,S. Venkataramani +7 more
TL;DR: A detailed study of the meteorological parameters shows that during nighttime, polluted air from land side moves to the nearby marine region relatively increasing the levels of ozone and precursor gases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wintertime spatial characteristics of boundary layer aerosols over peninsular India
K. Krishna Moorthy,S. V. Sunilkumar,Preetha S. Pillai,K. Parameswaran,Prabha R. Nair,Y. Nazeer Ahmed,K. Ramgopal,K. Narasimhulu,R. Ramakrishna Reddy,V. Vinoj,Sathianeson Satheesh,K. Niranjan,B. Malleswara Rao,P. S. Brahmanandam,Auromeet Saha,K. V. S. Badarinath,T. R. Kiranchand,K. Madhavi Latha +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a field campaign for generating a spatial composite of aerosol characteristics over peninsular India, collocated measurements of the mass concentration and size distribution of near surface aerosols were made onboard instrumented vehicles along the road network during the dry, winter season (February-March) of 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size Distribution of Coastal Aerosols: Effects of Local Sources and Sinks
TL;DR: In this article, columnar size-distribution functions of aerosols have been derived using ground-based multi-wavelength radiometer observations, and it has been found that the nature of the derived size distribution function is strongly dependent on season.
