BACKGROUND

The carbonaceous aerosols influence the climate by altering the earth’s radiation budget. The major carbonaceous aerosols include Elemental carbon (EC), Black carbon (BC), Brown carbon (Brc) and organic carbon (OC). While the former three aerosols are majorly absorbing in nature, the latter one has both scattering and absorbing character. Out of these BC is considered as the second most global warming agent after CO2. However, the present-day awareness about these aerosols is limited. Hence it is proposed to organize a 4-day workshop for early carrier research fellows/Master students on the aspect of climate impact of carbonaceous aerosols mainly focusing on its measurements techniques.

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP

The workshop is proposed to address the different measurement techniques of carbonaceous aerosols (In ground, balloon and aircraft platforms), their concentration in different regions, their compositions and their climate impacts in terms of radiative forcing.  Along with classes, hands on training on different equipment’s and one-dimensional radiative transfer modules will also be given.

THEMES ANICD TOPS

This workshop would focus on key and emerging topics regarding physical, chemical, and radiative impacts of carbonaceous aerosols. The workshop themes will cover the measurement aspects of carbonaceous aerosols. The format of this workshop will include lectures, field visit to Mahabaleshwar HACPL laboratory training and hands on training to radiative transfer modules.
