Aerosol Measurements over India: Comparison of MAX-DOAS Measurements with Ground-based (AERONET) and Satellite-based (MODIS) Data by Prithviraj Mali, Mriganka Sekhar Biswas, Steffen Beirle, Thomas Wagner, Shrivardhan Hulswar, Swaleha Inamdar, Anoop S. Mahajan

“…Abstract In this study, we present ground-based multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements of aerosols from two urban locations (Delhi and Pune) and one high-altitude rural location (Mahabaleshwar) in India. We utilized a profile retrieval algorithm to estimate the vertical profiles and vertical column densities of aerosols (AOD) using MAX-DOAS measurements of the oxygen dimer (O4) at ultraviolet and visible spectral regions. …”

Three Worlds in One: Venus as a Natural Laboratory for the Effect of Rotation Period on Atmospheric Circulation by Maureen Cohen, James Holmes, Stephen Lewis, Manish Patel, Sébastien Lebonnois

“…While observing the circulations of exoplanets to confirm these predictions is not currently possible, the presence of different circulation regimes on Venus and their dependence on altitude could be tested by observing campaigns. Such evidence would be the first observational support for the theory connecting differences in planetary rotation periods to circulation regime transitions and would ground predictions of exoplanet circulations in a validated framework.…”

Spaciotemporal distribution characteristics of glacial lakes and the factors influencing the Southeast Tibetan Plateau from 1993 to 2023 by Yu Mingwei, Guo Yonggang, Zhang Jian, Li Feng, Su Libin, Qin Deshun

“…The analysis of regional elevation using the natural segmentation method reveals that glacial lakes are predominantly distributed within the altitude range of 4442 ~ 4909 m. The fluctuations in the annual mean precipitation and average annual temperature in the study area have decreased since 2008, while the growth trajectories of both the area and number of glacial lakes have gradually stabilized. …”

Seasonal Variations and Long-term Trend of Mineral Dust Aerosols over the Taiwan Region by Yanda Zhang, Yi-Jhen Cai, Fangqun Yu, Gan Luo, Charles C. K. Chou

“…From 1999 to 2018, the number of strong dust event days and ND,d>500nm decreased by 40–43% and 37–54%, respectively, under 4 km, and the decline is weaker at higher altitudes. The analysis suggests that these decrease trends are caused by the declining Asian dust emissions.…”
