Dynamics of the elevated land plume over the Arabian Sea and the Northern Indian Ocean during northeasterly monsoons and during the Indian Ocean experiment (INDOEX)
[1] We describe the dynamics of the formation of an elevated land plume over the Arabian Sea and northern Indian Ocean observed during the 1999 Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX). The presence of the elevated plume above the marine boundary layer for a depth of about 2000 m could be inferred from the thermodynamic profiles of the lower troposphere obtained from research vessels in 1997, 1998, and...
متن کاملRole of the Land Plume in the Transport of Ozone over the Ocean during Indoex (1999)
Observations from aircraft, an island station, and two research vessels are used to investigate the development of an elevated mixed layer or land plume over the Arabian sea during the Indian Ocean Experiment Intensive Field Phase 1999 (INDOEX) through air mass modification. Much of the transport of aerosols and gases occurs in this plume located above a well-mixed convective marine boundary la...
متن کاملCirrus optical properties observed with lidar, radiosonde, and satellite over the tropical Indian Ocean during the aerosol-polluted northeast and clean maritime southwest monsoon
[1] Cirrus formation and geometrical and optical properties of tropical cirrus as a function of height and temperature are studied on the basis of INDOEX (Indian Ocean Experiment) lidar and radiosonde measurements and satellite observations of deep convection causing the generation of anvil cirrus. Lidar and radiosonde measurements were conducted at Hulule (4.1 N, 73.3 E), Maldives, during four...
متن کاملNew Directions: Atmospheric Brown ‘‘Clouds’’
In February 1999, over 200 scientists from India, Europe and USA gathered in the islands of the Maldives to conduct the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX). As reported by Ramanathan and coworkers (Journal of Geophysical Research, 106 (2001), 371–399), INDOEX revealed the so-called ‘‘brown cloud’’ phenomenon over the Northern Indian Ocean region with a large impact on the solar radiative heating o...
متن کاملINDOEX aerosol: A comparison and summary of chemical, microphysical, and optical properties observed from land, ship, and aircraft
[1] The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) measurements on land, sea, and in the air were designed to provide complementary assessment of chemical, physical, and optical properties of the haze aerosol over the Indian Ocean. Differences in platform requirements and objectives resulted in diverse techniques, measurements, and analyses being employed. In order to best interpret the properties of the...
