Aerosol Loadings in Association with Vegetative Properties: A Case Study Over North Indian Region
Abstract: Aerosols play an important role in the atmospheric absorption and scattering of light, thereby leading to both warming and cooling of atmosphere. In the Indian subcontinent, the concentration of the aerosols is increasing due to anthropogenic activities which in turn could affect the vegetative properties in the region. The paper presents the study of aerosol optical depth (AOD) in association with vegetative properties using Level 3 data from Multi-angle Imaging …

Damage Potential of Extreme Wind Events– Downburst and Tornado
Abstract: Thunderstorms have always impressed humans and cumulonimbus cloud is one of the most visually striking and photogenic natural phenomena. Unfortunately, the thunderstorms are associated with hazardous weather. Severe thunderstorms are responsible for large amount of wind induced damage around the globe. Unlike large and continental cyclones, severe local storms intensify very rapidly and dissipate after causing damage. Lightning causes many fires around the world each year and leads to severe …

Hybrid System (Wind and Solar) for Rural Lighting Applications
Abstract: Abstract Standalone wind with solar photovoltaic is known as the best hybrid combination of all renewable energy systems and suitable for most of the applications taking care of seasonal changes. They also complement each other during lean periods, example additional energy production by wind during monsoon months compensates less output generated by solar. Similarly, post winter months when wind is dull, SPV takes over. The hybrid system provides more continuous …

Molluscan Community: A Potential Sink of Carbon
Abstract: Stored carbon in dominant molluscan species collected from three regions of the Indian subcontinent (Hooghly estuary in West Bengal, Mandovi estuary in Goa and Kalapet coast in Puducherry) was analyzed both in shell and flesh. The accumulation was more in the flesh (~35%) compared to the shell (~12%) irrespective of stations, seasons and species. Pronounced spatial variation of stored carbon was observed, which confirms the role of environmental variables on …
