TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the time evolution of the perturbations in aerosol spectral optical depths associated with the Mt. Pinatubo volcanic eruption of June 1991 using a ground-based multiwavelength solar radiometer at the tropical station, Trivandrum.About:

Radiative effects of natural aerosols: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the influence of anthropogenic aerosols on climate through both direct and indirect effects has been carried out to assess the impact of human-made aerosols (e.g., greenhouse gases) on climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buildup of aerosols over the Indian Region
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from a network of 35 aerosol observatories over the Indian region to generate the first time regional synthesis using primary data and estimate the aerosol trends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of marine aerosols over the tropical Indian Ocean
TL;DR: In this article, a multwavelength solar radiometer was used on a scientific cruise in the tropical Indian Ocean (TIMO) to measure the spectral optical depths of aerosol spectral data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerosol characteristics over coastal regions of the Arabian Sea
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Gradients in Aerosol Characteristics over the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean
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.

Volcanic dust in the atmosphere; with a chronology and assessment of its meteorological significance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine aspects of importance, or possible importance, to meteorology, such as the dust veils created in the atmosphere, particle sizes and distribution, heights, fall speeds and atmospheric residence times.

The spectral distribution of solar radiation at the earth's surface—elements of a model
TL;DR: In this article, the attenuating properties of the atmosphere are presented in a form that permits the calculation of direct, diffuse and global spectral solar irradiance at ground level, using the extraterrestrial irradiance values of Thekaekara.

Optical constants of sulfuric Acid; application to the clouds of venus?
Kent F. Palmer,Dudley Williams +1 more
TL;DR: If the particles in the Venus clouds consist of liquid droplets of sulfuric acid at a temperature of 250 K, comparison of existing Venus data with the data suggests that the acid concentration is probably higher than 70%.

Global tracking of the SO2 clouds from the June, 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruptions
TL;DR: The explosive June 1991 eruptions of Pinatubo produced the largest sulfur dioxide cloud detected by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) during its 13 years of operation: approximately 20 million tons of SO2, predominantly from the cataclysmic June 15th eruption.
