Indian aerosols: present status.
Abhijit Mitra,Chhemendra Sharma +1 more
TLDR
The status of aerosols in India is presented based on the research activities undertaken during last few decades in this region and the high particulate concentrations in most of the cities' atmosphere in India are of concern as it can cause deteriorated health conditions.About:

Sulfur dioxide and primary carbonaceous aerosol emissions in China and India, 1996-2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a new inventory of SO2 and primary carbonaceous aerosol (i.e., black and organic carbon, BC and OC) emissions from these two countries for the period 1996-2010, using a technology-based methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of dust storms on the aerosol optical properties over the Indo‐Gangetic basin
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the dust events on the aerosol parameters retrieved over Kanpur (located in the heart of the Indo-Gangetic basin) from ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) measurements are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metal concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 particles and seasonal variations in urban and rural environment of Agra, India
TL;DR: Three factors have been identified using Principal Component Analysis at the sampling sites comprising res Suspension of road dust due to vehicular activities, solid waste incineration, and industrial emission at urban site whereas resuspension of soil dust dueto vehicular emission, construction activities and wind blown dust carrying industrial emission, were common sources at rural site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variability of aerosols over the Indo-Gangetic basin
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the spatio-temporal characteristics of aerosols in the Indian region with special emphasis on the Indo-Gangetic basin (northern India) using data from MODIS, Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and Total Ozone Mapping Spectroradiometer (TOMS).

P. Mönkkönen,Ismo K. Koponen,Kari E. J. Lehtinen,Kaarle Hämeri,Kaarle Hämeri,R. Uma,Markku Kulmala +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a continuous monitoring for more than two weeks with the time resolution of 10min was conducted using a Differential Mobility Particle Sizer (twin DMPS).

TL;DR: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) documented this Indo-Asian haze at scales ranging from individual particles to its contribution to the regional climate forcing as discussed by the authors, and integrated the multiplatform observations (satellites, aircraft, ships, surface stations, and balloons) with one-and four-dimensional models to derive the regional aerosol forcing resulting from the direct, the semidirect and the two indirect effects.

TL;DR: It is shown that agricultural burning and especially biofuel use enhance carbon monoxide concentrations and Fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning cause a high aerosol loading, which gives rise to extensive air quality degradation.

Construction of a 1° × 1° fossil fuel emission data set for carbonaceous aerosol and implementation and radiative impact in the ECHAM4 model
TL;DR: In this paper, emissions of carbonaceous aerosol from fossil fuel usage have been calculated with a resolution of 1° × 1° and the results are compared to measurements in regions influenced by anthropogenic fossil fuel emissions.

Soot Carbon and Excess Fine Potassium: Long-Range Transport of Combustion-Derived Aerosols
TL;DR: During a cruise from Hamburg to Montevideo, aerosol samples representing air masses from Europe, the Sahara, tropical Africa, South America, and open oceanic regions were collected and the ratio of soot carbon to fine carbon suggests that most of the particulate organic carbon over the Atlantic is of continental origin.

Wei Min Hao,Mei-Huey Liu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a database for the spatial and temporal distribution of the amount of biomass burned in tropical America, Africa, and Asia during the late 1970s is presented with a resolution of 5{degrees} latitude x 5{degreerees} longitude.
