Atmospheric Science
The mission of the Atmospheric Science Research Cluster is to characterize and understand the regional atmospheric environment in terms of the natural and anthropogenic sources impacting local air quality and the global climate.
Atmospheric Science group is committed to study:
- Study air quality and its impacts on human health; from local to global scale.
- Examine short-lived climate pollutants like black carbon, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, and tropospheric ozone – that are powerful climate forcers with global warming potentials many times greater than that of carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the adverse effect of these pollutants on food, water, economic security and public health.
- Identify chemical and optical properties of atmospheric aerosols, source apportionment, transformation to secondary pollutants and new particle formation.
- Review studies investigating the effect of air quality-climate interactions
- Diagnose greenhouse gases emissions (CO2 and Non-CO2) and mitigation strategies
- Support, enhance, and extend the capabilities of the stakeholders and scientific community nationally and internationally
- Foster the transfer of knowledge and technology for the betterment of human life.
