The rapid industrial and economic development in India leads to high level of pollution in environment. Due to increased level of aerosols oceans are warming. This paper highlights on aerosols effect on sea surface wind and sea surface temperature by using remote sensing data. The windplays important role in Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and radiative forcing and is analyzed using National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) monthly wind data. The radiative forcing observed is much higher and up to 60% of total AOD during summer monsoon. SeaSurface Temperature (SST) is another important parameter in ocean atmosphere system and a key variable in coupling the atmosphere and ocean. The SST has changed during the change of atmospheric pattern and it plays an important role in aerosols mechanism. The study observed that during summer monsoon SST over the South Eastern Tropical Indian Ocean (SETIO) much higher than Western Tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO) and it plays important role in aerosols mechanism.

Effect of Aerosols on Ocean Parameters in India by Using Satellite Data

Rapid industrial and economic development over the past two decades in India leads the high levels of air pollution. Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the main pollutants, is not only harmful for human beings but also for its impact on climate. The major CO sources in India are biomass burning and vehicular emissions. Here we used Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) CO data from 2005–2015 to examine CO sources, interannual variability, and transport pathways over India. We observed that during the winter months CO emissions over eastern part of Bihar, west Bengal and Northern Indo Gangetic (IG) plain are much higher than during the summer months. The increased vehicular emissions and industrial activity after 2010 resulted in increased CO in the same regions. CO mixing ratios at 350 hPa lowered at 68–90 μg m−3 over Arabian Sea and approximately 90 μg m−3 over Bay of Bengal during Indian summer monsoon. Deep convective activities transported maximum CO pollutants up to 200 μg m−3 over northern and eastern part of India during monsoon season.
