The rise in the inspiratory capacities of the subjects increases the probability of deposition of smaller aerosol particles to sediment in the Alveolar region.

We integrate the RegCM over the Indian region at two distinct horizontal resolutions. The results obtained from the model simulations demonstrate reasonable similarities to observational and reanalysis data. We identify the diverse phases of the variation in the mean distribution of monsoon-associated characteristics in response to the dust event. Dust accumulation along the Tibetan Plateau's slopes in May creates an atmospheric column over the region, dragging the monsoonal flow towards the Foothills of the Himalayas (FoH) before the conventional arrival of the southwest monsoon. As a result, rainfall tends to increase along the FoH and decrease over central India in June. The EHP phenomenon completely dissipated in July. The atmospheric conditions further intensified during August. Apart from that, we also explore the consequences of horizontal resolution in representing the impact of dust events on rainfall in the Indian region. We have discovered that the inclusion of dust at a 25-km horizontal resolution has resulted in a decrease in rainfall in certain regions of the north-western, Indo-Gangetic Plain, and southern India. The increasing resolution shows distinct patches of reduced rainfall over the Indian region, which indicates that the dust aerosols may impact rainfall significantly over local regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36991,"journal":{"name":"Aerosol Science and Engineering","volume":"9 2","pages":"224 - 243"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144084944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates seasonal and interlocation variability of OC and EC concentration and their role in light extinction coefficient (<i>b</i><sub><i>ext</i></sub>) in Indian cities. OC and EC exhibit significant spatial variability (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) with high loading of EC at Delhi (20.80 ± 5.30 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>) followed by Hyderabad (12.18 ± 4.96 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>) and Pune (10.36 ± 4.77 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>) while OC was abundant at Jabalpur (50.24 ± 4.23 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>) followed by Udaipur (49.56 ± 6.46 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>). The total carbonaceous aerosols (TCA) was the highest at Delhi (Mean = 87.42 ± 53.44 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>) along with EC (Mean = 20.80 ± 5.30 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>), followed by Hyderabad (TCA: 48.37 ± 25.50 µg m<sup>− 3</sup> and EC: 12.18 ± 4.96 5.30 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>). The lowest TCA was found to be at Pune (TCA: 43.36 ± 25.60 µg m<sup>− 3</sup> and EC: 5.75 ± 5.46 µg m<sup>− 3</sup>). Fractional EC percentage contribution to TC in Delhi is 10–15% higher than in other locations; in contrast, fractional OC percentage share in TC is lower by 20% relative to Jabalpur. Such an occurrence is attributable to relatively high combustion in Delhi and high secondary organic carbon (SOC) in Jabalpur. Fossil fuel combustion (FFC) was an ample source of OC and EC in Delhi compared to other locations, while SOC was the most abundant source in Jabalpur. It was found that FFC source was predominant, influencing carbonaceous species in urban regions of India. The OC and EC concentrations exhibited prominent seasonal variability, with the highest values during winter followed by post-monsoon, pre-monsoon, and lowest during monsoon. OC and EC showed a significant correlation (R<sup>2</sup>: 0.78 − 0.55) at all the locations, while primary organic carbon (POC) had an insignificant relationship with SOC (R<sup>2</sup>: 0.02–0.24). The average aerosol light extinction coefficient (<i>b</i><sub><i>ext</i></sub>) showed substantial spatial variability with the highest values at Delhi (913 ± 485 Mm<sup>− 1</sup>) followed by Jabalpur (584 ± 308 Mm<sup>− 1</sup>) and the lowest at Pune (451 ± 275 Mm<sup>− 1</sup>). The analysis indicates that carbonaceous species have a dual nature: they are a more absorbing type in Delhi and a more scattering type in Pune.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36991,"journal":{"name":"Aerosol Science and Engineering","volume":"9 2","pages":"208 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
