Role of trace gases and aerosol chemistry (both organic and inorganic ionic species) in radiative forcing and regional climate change

Laboratory based studies in collaboration with other institutions and modeling based studies led by CCCR on the sources of natural aerosols, from trace gas to particle conversion of dimethyl-sulfide and iodine species were conducted to quantify their effect on total radiative forcing at the top of the atmosphere on a global scale

Impact of trace gases transported from the boundary layer to the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS)

Studied the vertical transport of aerosols into the UTLS by Asian monsoon convection using model simulations
