TLDR
In this article, columnar size-distribution functions of aerosols have been derived using ground-based multi-wavelength radiometer observations, and it has been found that the nature of the derived size distribution function is strongly dependent on season.Abstract:
Using aerosol optical depth as a function of wavelength obtained from ground-based multiwavelength radiometer observations, columnar size-distribution functions of aerosols have been derived. It has been found that the nature of the derived size-distribution function is strongly dependent on season. The derived size-distribution functions are discussed in term of seasonally dependent natural aerosol sources and sinks.read more

Liji Mary David,Prabha R. Nair +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the diurnal and seasonal patterns of ozone and its precursor, NOx, and also the interdependence of these two chemical species were investigated at the tropical coastal location of Trivandrum (8.55°N, 77°E).
