“…Aerosols can also influence the hydrological cycle by altering the mechanisms that form precipitation in clouds (Ferek et al 2000;Rosenfeld 2000). Aerosols may have a substantial influence on the Asian monsoon circulation (Ramanathan et al 2005;Lau et al 2008): absorbing aerosols over the Indo-Gangetic plain near the foothills of the Himalayas act as an extra heat source aloft, enhancing the incipient monsoon circulation (Lau and Kim 2006). The same aerosols lead to a surface cooling over central India, shifting rainfall to the Himalayan region.…”

“…We also use aerosol loading information from the space borne Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument over both vegetated as well as arid regions (Hsu et al, 2004;Levy et al, 2007). Aerosol vertical distribution information is obtained from the CloudAerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument that provides global vertically-resolved measurements of aerosol and clouds in the atmosphere (Winker et al, 2003).…”

“…This potentially has a strong effect on the microphysics of orographic precipitation in this region by modulating the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) spectrum (the so called indirect effect). Since both riming and collision of water droplets following coalescence is prerequisite for efficient precipitation (White et al, 2003;Lascaux et al, 2006;Rotunno and Houze, 2007), inhibition of this cloud microphysical process due to an increase in CCN concentration influences the precipitation efficiency of the system (Barros and Lettenmaier, 1994;Rosenfeld and Lensky, 1998;Khain et al, 2000;Ramanathan et al, 2001;Andreae et al, 2004;Tao et al, 2007;Lau et al, 2008;and many others). In order to study the aerosol indirect effect, a direct measurement of the CCN spectrum is required or, alternatively, it can be estimated from observed aerosol size distribution and chemical composition.…”
