“…The AOD was approximately 0.30 in the summer monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter seasons. As many studies reported, these temporal variations are closely related to distinct seasonal monsoon circulations over South Asia including the Himalayan foothills (Sapkota et al, 2002; Sharma et al, 2012). Heavy precipitation in summer months (June-September) due to warm and marine air masses advected from the Indian Ocean by southerly flows (Carrico et al, 2003) efficiently removes atmospheric aerosols through the wet scavenging process (Sharma et al, 2012).…”

“…Here, we note that the climate seasons in Nepal are divided into winter (December-February), pre-monsoon (March-May), summer monsoon (June-September), and post-monsoon (October-November) seasons (Sharma et al, 2012). The AOD (675 nm) maxima were observed in the pre-monsoon season (0.63 ± 0.12).…”
