Accumulation of aerosols over the Indo-Gangetic plains and southern slopes of the Himalayas: distribution, properties and radiative effects during the 2009 pre-monsoon season
Ritesh Gautam,Ritesh Gautam,N. C. Hsu,Si-Chee Tsay,K. M. Lau,Brent N. Holben,Shaun W. Bell,Alexander Smirnov,Can Li,Can Li,Richard A. Hansell,Richard A. Hansell,Qiang Ji,Qiang Ji,Swagata Payra,Deepak Aryal,Rijan Bhakta Kayastha,Kyu-Myong Kim,Kyu-Myong Kim +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the distribution of aerosols and associated optical/radiative properties in the Gangetic-Himalayan region from simultaneous radiometric measurements over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) and the foothill/southern slopes of the Himalayas during the 2009 pre-monsoon season.
Journal Article
Practical prediction of ice melting beneath various thickness of debris cover on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal, using a positive degree-day factor
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the relationship between positive degree-day factor and ice ablation on bare ice and under various thickness of debris on Khumbu Glacier from 21 May to 1 June 1999.

Richard L. Armstrong,Karl Rittger,Mary J. Brodzik,Adina Racoviteanu,Andrew P. Barrett,Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa,Bruce Raup,Alice F. Hill,Alia L. Khan,Alana M. Wilson,Rijan Bhakta Kayastha,Florence Fetterer,Betsy Armstrong +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors distinguish seasonal snow versus glacier ice melt in the major basins of High Mountain Asia: Ganges, Brahmaputra, Indus, Amu Darya, and Syr Darya.
Journal Article
Characteristics of ablation and heat balance in debris-free and debris-covered areas on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal Himalayas, in the pre-monsoon season
TL;DR: Ablation and heat balance were measured in debris-covered and debris-free areas of the ablation zone of Khumbu Glacier from 22 May to 1 June 1999 as mentioned in this paper.
