Aerosol control on depth of warm rain in convective clouds
Mahen Konwar,R. S. Maheskumar,J. R. Kulkarni,Eyal Freud,Bhupendra Nath Goswami,Daniel Rosenfeld +5 more
TL;DR: Aircraft measurements of cloud condensation nuclei and microphysics of clouds at various altitudes were conducted over India during CAIPEEX (Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment) phase I and II in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

Aerosol effect on droplet spectral dispersion in warm continental cumuli
Govindan Pandithurai,S. Dipu,Thara V. Prabha,R. S. Maheskumar,J. R. Kulkarni,Bhupendra Nath Goswami +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dispersion effect and its implications for estimating aerosol indirect effects in continental cumuli and found that not only the cloud droplet number concentration but also the relative dispersion increases with the aerosol number concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aircraft observations of elevated pollution layers near the foothills of the Himalayas during CAIPEEX‐2009
B. Padmakumari,R. S. Maheskumar,S. B. Morwal,G. Harikishan,Mahen Konwar,J. R. Kulkarni,Bhupendra Nath Goswami +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the properties of aerosols and their spatial and vertical distribution near the foothills of the Himalayas using data from an instrumented aircraft during the Cloud Aerosol Interactions and Precipitation Enhancement Experiment (CAIPEEX), 2009.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ measurements of aerosol vertical and spatial distributions over continental India during the major drought year 2009
TL;DR: In this article, the variability in aerosol vertical and spatial distribution over the continental Indian region is studied using the airborne observations during the Cloud Aerosol Interactions and Precipitation Enhancement EXperiment (CAIPEEX) from May to September, 2009.
