TL;DR: A national experiment named Cloud Aerosol Interaction and Precipitation Enhancement Enhancement EXperiment (CAIPEEX) in two phases, was carried out by the Indian National Experiment for Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (INSEPSS) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of elevated aerosol layer on the cloud macrophysical properties prior to monsoon onset
S. Dipu,Thara V. Prabha,Govindan Pandithurai,Jimy Dudhia,Gabriele Pfister,K. Rajesh,Bhupendra Nath Goswami +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the aerosol-cloud interaction in a dry to wet transition phase prior to the onset of southwest monsoon and show that even natural dust emissions may also influence the spatial and temporal distribution of cloud and precipitation and the hydrological cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanism of first raindrops formation in deep convective clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the first raindrops in deep convective clouds has been investigated using a combination of observational data analysis and 2D and 3D simulations of deep convolutional clouds.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
