To study aerosol and cloud microphysics in the focus of Aerosol-Cloud-Climate interactions. To estimate atmospheric aerosol forcing during different sky conditions in the perspective to understand their implications for the environment on regional and global scales. To estimate the carrying capacity of the region from air quality vis-à-vis the emissions. Facilities available Staff working Facilities available: Existing Instruments OC/EC analyzer for organic and elemental carbon measurements Pyrenomter for direct short-wave solar flux measurement Ceilometer for cloud microphysics characterization along with the measurements of cloud top and bottom height (cloud thickness) Optical Particle Counter (OPC) for aerosol number and mass size distributions High Volume Sampler (HVS) for total suspended particulate matters (TSPM) PM10 aerosol sampler for the mass of particulate matters of size <10 µm PM2.5 aerosol sampler for the mass of particulate matters of size <2.5 µm Surface meteorology using Automatic Weather Station (AWS). Automatic rain collector Up-coming Instruments Sun/sky radiometer for various columnar aerosol optical and radiative properties Mini-LIDAR system for vertical profile of aerosols Model studies: Optical Properties of Aerosol and Cloud (OPAC) model, developed by Hess et al., [1998] is using for the estimation of crucial aerosol optical parameters under different environmental conditions, which are the key responsible for forcing estimation. Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART) model, developed by Ricchiazzi et al., [1998] is using for the estimation of atmospheric forcing in different sky conditions.
