Aerosol Optical Depth, Black Carbon, Radiative Forcing
Scientific paper
Extensive and collocated measurements of several aerosol parameters were made over the eastern Arabian Sea, during the inter-monsoon and summer monsoon seasons of 2003 as a part of the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX). Associated with the seasonal changes in the synoptic wind fields from northeasterly/easterly to westerly/northwesterly, the aerosol characteristics and columnar optical depth show large variations. Consequently, the atmospheric forcing is found to increase from March to April and then to decrease consistently towards June. However, the magnitude of the forcing efficiency of aerosols continuously decreases from winter to summer. Such temporal changes in radiative forcing need to be accounted for in reducing the uncertainty in aerosol climate impact.
