Effects of Arctic Geoengineering on Precipitation in the Tropical Monsoon Regions
(2018-06-14)Arctic geoengineering wherein sunlight absorption is reduced only in the Arctic has been suggested as a remedial measure to counteract the on-going rapid climate change in the Arctic. Several modelling studies have shown ... -
Efficacy of Solar irradiance, Methane and Black carbon aerosols
In climate science literature, the concept of radiative forcing is used to infer the equilibrium temperature change that would occur as a result of changes in the forcing agents such as greenhouse gases and aerosols. ... -
Estimation of Glacier Mass Balance at Basin Scale in the Himalaya for Recent Decades and Future
The Himalayan glaciers are a major source of perennial river systems which support the livelihood of millions of people in south Asia. Therefore, it is important to understand changes in water resources due to changes in ... -
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
Trends and Variability in Terrestrial Carbon Fluxes and Stocks over India in the 20th and 21st centuries: A Multi-model Based Assessment
Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon cycle by naturally taking up carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and storing this carbon as biomass and soil carbon. There exists a strong, ...
