Abstract

The characterization of the spatial heterogeneity of aerosol optical properties
over the Indian sub-continent, an intensive field campaign was organized by
the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) under the ISRO-Geosphere
Biosphere Programme, named as the ISRO-GBP Land Campaign-I. Several
research groups carried a host of instruments on mobile platforms and made
representative measurements at several locations covering the entire
peninsular India and a few meridional transects. The team from Andhra
University, Visakhapatnam, India made extensive measurements of aerosol
optical depths and near surface mass-size distributions along with the surface
meteorological parameters at several locations in the states of Andhra
Pradesh, Orissa and Chattsigarh, in the northeastern part of peninsular India.
The features of aerosol spectral optical depths and near surface aerosol mass
size distributions over this region are presented in this paper.
