Abstract Mt. Everest (Qomolangma or Sagarmatha), the highest mount on Earth and located
in the central Himalayas between China and Nepal, is characterized by highly concentrated …

The single-scattering albedo (SSA) of atmospheric aerosols is a key parameter that controls
aerosol radiative effects. The variation of SSA is thought to be mainly regulated by aerosol …

A year-long offline based study was performed at five sites of Indo-Gangetic plain to get the
spatio-temporal variation in elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), water-soluble …

The impact of aerosols, especially the absorbing aerosols, in the Himalayan region is
important for climate. We closely examine ground-based high-quality observations of …

Light-absorbing organic carbon (or brown carbon, BrC) has been recognized as a critical
driver in regional-to-global climate change on account of its significant contribution to light …

Carbonaceous matter, including organic carbon (OC) and black carbon (BC), is an important
climate forcing agent and contributes to glacier retreat in the Himalayas and the Tibetan …

Trace elements (TEs), a group of atmospheric pollutants, have attracted considerable
attention from scientists and government administrators worldwide. The wet deposition …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings, also known as the Third Pole, play an
