Journal ArticleDOI
Global and regional trends of aerosol optical depth over land and ocean using SeaWiFS measurements from 1997 to 2010
N. C. Hsu,Ritesh Gautam,Ritesh Gautam,Andrew M. Sayer,Andrew M. Sayer,Corey Bettenhausen,Can Li,Can Li,Myeong-Jae Jeong,Si-Chee Tsay,Brent N. Holben +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a newly developed aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval algorithm over land and ocean to investigate the distribution of AOD, and to identify emerging patterns and trends in global and regional aerosol loading during its 13-yr mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
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 ArticleDOI
Premonsoon aerosol characterization and radiative effects over the Indo‐Gangetic Plains: Implications for regional climate warming
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed characterization of aerosols over the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) and their radiative effects during the pre-monsoon season (April-May-June) was presented, using ground radiometric and spaceborne observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced pre‐monsoon warming over the Himalayan‐Gangetic region from 1979 to 2007
TL;DR: Gautam et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that aerosol solar heating has amplified the seasonal warming and in turn strengthened the land-sea thermal gradient in the Himalayas-Tibetan Plateau.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerosol and rainfall variability over the Indian monsoon region: distributions, trends and coupling
TL;DR: In this article, a multi-sensor characterization of the increasing pre-monsoon aerosol loading over northern India, in terms of their spatial, temporal and vertical distribution is presented.
