TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and spectral characteristics of coastal aerosols and the effect of the proximity to the (urban) continent are investigated from aerosol spectral optical depths (τ pλ ) at 10 wavelengths in the range 380 to 1025 nm estimated at different locations in the near and far coastal regions of the Arabian sea adjoining the western coast of central India.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made estimates of aerosol radiative (short wave and long wave) forcing over Bay of Bengal region from observations conducted as part of validation experiment of Indian Remote Sensing satellite, IRS-P4.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution airborne measurements of the altitude profiles of the mass concentrations (MB) of aerosol black carbon (BC) were made off Bhubaneswar (BBR, 85.82°E, 20.25°N), over northwest Bay of Bengal, in the altitude region upto 3 km.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used continuous and near-real time measurements of the mass concentrations of black carbon (BC) aerosols near the surface, for a period of 1 year (from January to December 2006) from a network of eight observatories spread over different environments of India, a space-time synthesis is generated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large variability in aerosol characteristics associated with changes in air mass and precipitation characteristics was observed and six distinct transport pathways were identified on the basis of cluster analysis, and the Indo-Gangetic Plain, along with the northern Arabian Sea and west Asia (NWA) was identified to be the region having the highest potential for aerosol mass loading at the island.
