Abstract:

A statistical analysis of Convective Inhibition (CIN) and Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) is conducted using a six-hourly ERA-Interim dataset for the summer of 2006 over West Africa as part of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) SOP3 Campaign. This study analyses the trends and empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) of CAPE and CIN, along with... More

Abstract:

This study examines the spatiotemporal variations of tropospheric Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) over the Lahore Division, utilizing satellite and ground-based data spanning from 2006 to 2023. The findings indicate consistently elevated NO₂ levels, attributed to the dense population, industrial activities, and crop residue burning, with mean values ranging from 3.87 to... More

Abstract:

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) emerges as a geoengineering strategy to mitigate global warming by reflecting sunlight back into space. However, this approach raises significant concerns, particularly regarding its impact on rainfall characteristics in the Sahel. This study investigates the effects of injecting sulfur dioxide (SO₂) into the stratosphere using the IPSL-CM5A-LR climate model, under two... More
