TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the continent on aerosol properties over the ocean has been studied, showing that a significant increase in the relative concentration of small (accumulation size range) particles is seen as the continent is approached from deeper oceanic regions downwind, indicating increased influence of anthropogenic activities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to infer regional distribution of dust radiative properties using satellite remote sensing (infrared and visible/UV channels) and demonstrate its application. And they showed that dust in desert areas is low absorbing type while those transported to other locations having anthropogenic activities are significantly more absorbing than pure dust aerosols.

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive cruise experiment covering, for the first time, the entire Bay of Bengal (BoB) and northern Indian Ocean was conducted and the results were synthesized to understand the optical properties of aerosols in the marine atmospheric boundary layer and their dependence on the size distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present airborne LIDAR measurements carried out over the east coast of the India during the ICARB field campaign, where an increase in aerosol extinction (scattering + absorption) was observed from the surface upwards with a maximum around 2 to 4 km.

TL;DR: A cruise by ORV Sagar Kanya was conducted in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean from 20 January to 12 March 1999 as discussed by the authors, where measurements on aerosol properties such as optical depth, mass concentration, size distribution, scattering and absorption coefficients were measured using instruments such as sun-photometer, quartz crystal microbalance, nephelometer and particle-soot absorption photometer.
