Although trends in the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) have been examined broadly but the
effects due to the prevailing background conditions on these still remain uncertain, for which …

Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in radiation budget, ecosystem dynamics, air quality
and cloud microphysics of a region and thus, they greatly influence the global climate …

Precipitation has increased across the arid Central Asia region over recent decades.
However, the underlying mechanisms of this trend are poorly understood. Here, we analyze …

Long‐range transport and vertical distribution of aerosols are important factors for assessing
the uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. This paper reveals the vertical distribution and …

Numerous studies have been carried out to examine the trends in the rapidly changing
aerosol loading through the total Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) but very few investigations …

It is well known that the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) plays a significant role in
controlling the variability of atmospheric constituents such as aerosols and trace-gases …

NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat-2), designed for surface altimetry,
plays a pivotal role in providing precise ice sheet elevation measurements. While its primary …

Anthropogenic aerosols mask the climate warming caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs). In
the absence of observational constraints, large uncertainties plague the estimates of this …

Exact knowledge on the types of aerosols present over a region is very important in the
radiative forcing estimates. Several techniques are available to classify aerosols, which …

Extreme aerosol pollution poses significant risks to the climate, environment, and human
health. To investigate the formation and impacts of aerosol pollution extreme events (APEE) …
