Dust storms are considered natural hazards, which affect day‐to‐day life for a short time
from a few hours to a few days. They are common in India especially in the western …

The Indo‐Gangetic (IG) plains is one of the largest and most densely populated regions in
the world. Recent studies over the IG plains using multi‐year (2000–2004) satellite …

Aerosol optical properties and the spectral behavior of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) over
Kanpur, an urban‐industrial city in the Ganga basin, have been presented for the first time …

The impacts of an early South Asian dust storm that originated over the western part of the
Middle East and engulfed northwest parts of India during the third week of March 2012 have …

Super dust storms occurred over the Middle East and southwest Asia on March 2012. These
storms reduced the air quality over the Gulf Region, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan. Airports were …

The first regional synthesis of long‐term (back to~ 25 years at some stations) primary data
(from direct measurement) on aerosol optical depth from the ARFINET (network of aerosol …

Indo-Gangetic (IG) alluvial plains, one of the largest river basins in the world, suffers from the
long range transport of mineral dust from the western arid and desert regions of Africa …

We present results on various physical and optical properties of aerosols measured over
Ahmedabad, an urban location in western India, from 2002 to 2005 and discuss their …

High aerosol loading over the northern Indian subcontinent can result in poor air quality
leading to human health consequences and climate perturbations. The international 2008 …

We examine the spatio‐temporal characteristics of aerosols in the recent years (2000–2003)
over the Indian region with special emphasis on the Indo‐Gangetic basin (northern India) …
