Supplement of Chemical composition of pre-monsoon air in the Indo-Gangetic Plain mea- sured using a new air quality facility and PTR-MS: high surface ozone and strong influence of biomass burning

Spatio-temporal Pattern of Agro Ecosystem Net Primary Productivity of India: a Preliminary Analysis Using Spot Vgt Data

Indian landmass with 1.45% of the world’s total geographical area accounts for approximately 2.7–5.5% to the global NPP estimates with agriculture contributing to more than sixty percent. This paper reports the spatio-temporal pattern of agricultural NPP in India using SPOT VGT 10-day composite NPP product for 2002-03 to 2004-05 agricultural years. Detailed analysis was carried out for the Indo...

Scattering and absorption properties of near - surface aerosol over Gangetic - Himalayan 1 region : the role of boundary layer dynamics and long - range transport

10 Light scattering and absorption properties of atmospheric aerosols are of vital importance in 11 evaluating their types, sources and radiative forcing. This is of particular interest over the 12 Gangetic-Himalayan (GH) region due to uplift of aerosol from the plains to the Himalayan range 13 causing serious effects on atmospheric heating, glaciology and monsoon circulation. In this 14 respec...

Interactive comment on “Chemical composition of pre-monsoon air in the Indo–Gangetic Plain measured using a new PTR-MS and air quality facility: high surface ozone and strong influence of biomass burning” by V. Sinha et al

This paper describes a new high quality atmospheric chemistry observation station in a very important part of the world where very little data is available. The station is impacted by many types of globally important undersampled sources such as cooking fires, agricultural burning, and dust storms. It is also impacted by more conventionally sampled urban and biogenic sources, but in a new conte...
