Atmospheric aerosols play key roles in radiation budget, ecosystem dynamics, air quality and cloud microphysics of a region thus, they greatly influence the global climate, public health. We present temporal variability atmospheric over India north Indian Ocean (NIO) for past two decades (2000–2019). Here, measurements from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra, Multi-a...

Extreme precipitation events are becoming more common in the Arctic as climate warms, but characterizing these is notoriously challenging. Atmospheric reanalyses have become popular tools for studies data-sparse regions such Arctic. While modern been shown to perform reasonably well at reproducing climate, their ability represent extreme has not investigated depth. In this study, three of most ...

Abstract. Ice sheet surface mass balance describes the net snow accumulation at ice surface. On Antarctic sheet, winds redistribute snow, resulting in a that is variable both space and time. Representing wind-driven redistribution processes models critical for local assessments of balance, repeat altimetry studies, interpretation core records. To this end, we have adapted Alpine3D, an existing ...

Atmospheric rivers, or long but narrow regions of enhanced water vapor transport, are an important component the hydrologic cycle as they responsible for much poleward transport and result in precipitation, sometimes extreme intensity. Despite their importance, uncertainty remains detection atmospheric rivers large datasets such reanalyses century scale climate simulations. To understand this u...

Abstract. Aerosol optical depths (AODs) used for the Edition 4.1 Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Synoptic 1? (SYN1deg) product are evaluated. AODs derived from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) observations assimilated by an aerosol transport model (the Model Atmospheric Transport Chemistry – MATCH). As a consequence, clear-sky closely match with those MODIS...

Black carbon (BC) produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials and biomass has become a major factor affecting global climate change adversely affects health. Based on ground-measured data MERRA-2 (Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research Applications, Version 2) reanalysis data, BC's pollution characteristics health risks caused BC exposure were investigated in Tianjin...

Downward shortwave radiation (DSR) is a critical variable in energy balance driving Earth’s surface processes. Satellite-derived and reanalysis DSR products have been developed continuously improved during the last decades. However, as those different temporal resolutions, their performances time scales not well-documented, particularly China. This study intended to evaluate several across mult...
