Atmospheric Pollution and Himalayas

The Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau are referred as the Third Pole (TP). The Himalayas are a massive about 2,500-kilometres arc-shaped stretch of lofty mountains with an average elevation over 4000 m extending across Pakistan, China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. This third pole region is the home to about 1,000,000 km2 of glaciers, containing the largest volumes of ice outside the polar regions, and the origin of 10 largest rivers of Asia, making it the “Water Tower of Asia.”

Due to the high altitude and larger area, the region plays a significant role in Earth's climate system and water cycle with unique and complex interaction of atmospheric, cryospheric, hydrological, geological and environmental process. However, the water tower of Asia is now in danger due to rapid warming and noted for its higher rates of glacier melt, and the associated hydrological shifts that affect water supplies over 1.4 billion people in Asia and contribute to global sea-level rise.

Studies shows that the atmospheric pollutants contribute to climatic and cryospheric changes through their effects on solar radiation and the albedos of snow and ice surfaces. The atmospheric pollution, climate change and cryospheric changes are closely related and necessary to be investigated in a coupled and integrated framework is our prime interest. The air quality impacts the entire region through the summer monsoon and winter westerlies, which can transport pollution such as black carbon and other aerosols over long distances. The Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) are sensitive to climate change. The air pollutants originating within and near the HKH region magnify the effects of greenhouse gases and accelerate the melting of the cryosphere through the deposition of black carbon and dust that effect the circulation of the monsoon, and the distribution of rainfall over Asia. Emission sources in this region also vary in different countries, in terms of magnitude as well as source factors and need to be investigated separately.

Our interest is on five primary pollutants (CO, NOx, SO2, BC, and PM2.5). Different pollutants may be emitted by the same source, while many of them are chemically transformed in the atmosphere, forming secondary pollutants, such as secondary aerosols (both organic and inorganic, nitrates and sulphates) and tropospheric O3. In addition, the HKH receives trans-boundary pollution from other parts of Asia. The air pollution in this region not only effect human health, but also the climate, the cryosphere, monsoon patterns, water availability, and agriculture product. With its unique geographic and atmospheric structure, the TP play an important role in regional climate. The basic atmospheric and land, thermal and dynamic characteristics over the TP, as well as their relationships with the Asian monsoon based on recently available datasets, are the important subject of our research.

OBJECTIVES

• The study of tropospheric ozone change driven by climate change across the Third Pole region.
• Study of the potential radiative effect of Black Carbon (BC) over the southern part Himalayan region.
• Study of the contribution of transboundary pollution to total loading of atmospheric pollution in the TP region.

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

The TP region is fresh water tower of Asia. To protect it is our responsibility. The main issues of air pollution in this region is a transboundary issue and has impacts on the region-wide weather, climate, and agriculture, as well as socioeconomic sectors. Regional coordination and collaboration is important to enhance the mitigation at the local and national and regional levels.

Ocean-biogeochemistry in an atmospheric input perspective

Oceans are the basis of life. It is major source of oxygen and are also a reservoir for Carbon Dioxide. Ocean form 70 % of the earth. While earth comprises of Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, Biosphere and Geosphere, Atmosphere and Ocean are of major importance.

Ocean together with atmosphere gives rise to air sea interactions which causes weather and climate. These climatic aspects not only refers to physical ones, but also the biological ones. We are all very much aware of the climate change and the associated changes in the physical parameters (eg SST increase, sea level rise).

It is also important to consider the effect of anthropogenic activities which also affects marine and coastal ecosystems. Through my research I look into the effects of atmopsheric pollution on the oceanic biogeochemistry.

I would be making use of coupled ocean atmospheric chemistry ocean biogeochemistry model for this purpose to incorporate the effects of atmospheric chemistry on the ocean biogeochemistry.

OBJECTIVES

• To identify the general trend of Chlorophyll in North Indian Ocean and some special cases such as Cyclones using satellite derived datasets and estimate the same using ROMS-BGC model.
• To estimate the trend of chlorophyll in the coupled models with and without chemistry input from Atmospheric Model

• To estimate the Net Primary Productivity in NIO using the satellite measurements and also from the model simulated Chlorophyll.

• To estimate the Nitrate cycling using coupled model.

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

• It helps to understand the impact of pollution on the marine ecosystems which is also the effect of anthropogenic activities and long term climate change

Atmospheric CO2 and Air-Sea exchange

I work with atmospheric CO2 and its exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean under the guidance of Prof. Jayanarayanan Kuttippurath at the Centre for Ocean, Rivers, Atmosphere, and Land Sciences (CORAL), Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

As part of the project O-MASCOT sponsored by INCOIS Hyderabad, we deal with the customization of an ocean-atmosphere coupled model to study the nutrient exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean. The ocean is the largest carbon sink, and literature estimates about 40% of the carbon get stored in the oceans since industrialization.

My research concentrates on the increasing trend of CO2 in the atmosphere and its impact on the marine ecosystem, especially in the Indian Ocean, analyzed using satellite measurements and numerical models.

OBJECTIVES

• Development of an ocean-atmosphere coupled model.
• Study on the impact of atmospheric pollution/aerosol on the biogeochemistry of Bay of Bengal.
• Study on the impact of atmospheric deposition in the Bay of Bengal on regional Climate.

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

• The changing behaviour of the ocean in absorbing and releasing carbon affects the marine environment. The physical and chemical changes of the seawater resulting from unbalanced carbon exchanges will have a drastic effect on flora and fauna.

Tropical cyclone and climate Change.

Tropical cyclones are one of the most devastating storms. Though it is
disastrous, it also has some positive effects such as bringing rainfall, decreasing
pollutants etc. Our North Indian Ocean which has Bay of Bengal and Arabian
Sea is home to tropical cyclones and also it is warmest of all oceans. In the
context of climate of climate change, it is important to consider the impact of
tropical cyclones on it. In the recent years, there is an increase in the number of
tropical cyclones and 2019 being an anomalous year as far 2019 is concerned.
Therefore, the effects of tropical cyclones on climate change has to be
understood.

OBJECTIVES

The impact of climate change on tropical cyclones in the NIO

The impact of tropical cyclones on upper ocean dynamics: Cold wakes

The impact of tropical cyclones on precipitation, particulates and trace gas
distribution

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

Tropical cyclones are increasing and has major adverse effects on the society and
therefore the work is significant with respect to changing environment.

Tropospheric Ozone In Antarctica

With severe impacts on human health and agricultural output (crop damage in India upto 3.5 million tonnes a year, tropospheric ozone is a prominent air pollutant and greenhouse gas in spite of being only 10% of total column amount.

However, Ozone is not only a greenhouse gas and biological irritant but also an atmospheric cleansing agent which rids the atmosphere off hazardous gases through production of hydroxyl radicals and is beneficial if it is present in the stratosphere in abundant amount as it prevents harmful sun rays from penetrating through the troposphere to the Earth’s surface. Ozone exerts considerable radiative forcing too with recent estimate being 360 mW/m2 which is 25% of the same exerted by CO2.

Climate variabilities ranging from interannual to decadal scales like El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Pacific–North American teleconnection (PNA), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) etc. has been reported to influence the tropospheric ozone at remote locations.

Despite of having tremendous climatic, agricultural, compositional and health repercussions, variability of ozone (tropospheric in particular) vis-a-vis circulation changes (due to climate change and stratospheric ozone hole recovery) is still poorly understood.

Given this background, it is imperative to ask the following relevant questions:

o How is the ozone in the Antarctic distributed both vertically and spatially?

o Is the ozone hole in the stratosphere healing? If yes, how confident are we about our analysis showing the recovery trends?

o Is there any evidence of recovery in atmospheric layers which experience near complete destruction of ozone i.e. ozone loss saturation layers?

o How is the recovery affecting the tropospheric ozone trends?

o How do O3 profiles cluster for various regions, each of which are known to exhibit differing O 3 distributions?

o What are the links among the O3 profile clusters, meteorology, and chemistry, and how do they depend on latitude or region?

o How do the ozone recovery in the stratosphere and trends in tropospheric ozone affect the surface climate in the Antarctic and how is it correlated with the increasing greenhouse gases?

I’ll be using state of the art Physical models and Causal Discovery and Inference methods based on Artificial Intelligence to answer these questions.

OBJECTIVES

• Evaluation of ozone recovery in Antarctic loss saturation layer.
• Investigation of the tropospheric ozone trends and their climatic implications.
• Examination of the spatial heterogeneity in Antarctic ozone distribution using Artificial Intelligence (AI) based new methodology developed during the study

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

• Tropospheric ozone is a greenhouse gas and an air pollutant having serious adverse effects on human health and agricultural production. Changes in tropospheric ozone in Antarctica would have a profound impact on the future climate.
• Tools developed during the study will be open sourced and can be used by others too.

Carbon Sequestration

I work on sustainability science (environmental sustainability) with an emphasis on food and nutritional security in climate change context. My current affiliation is with Centre for Oceans, River, Atmosphere and land Sciences (CORAL), Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, as a doctoral candidate and working as a visiting scholar at ICRISAT Hyderabad. My research focuses on the comparative assessments of conventional and new flanged concepts to sequester carbon in soil and analysing its effect on soil carbon fractions, crop production, soil fertility and potential emissions arising from chemical fertilizer use in soil.

Soils are home to myriad micro-organisms that fix nitrogen and decompose organic matter, and armies of microscopic animals as well as earthworms and termites. My research integrates scientific principles from soil science, agronomy, biology, and chemistry to elucidate how soils provide essential ecosystem services. My research also provides an understanding of how soil properties relate to and can be managed for optimal agricultural production, and agro-waste disposal and management. I address nutrient management, sustainable agriculture, soil biogeochemical cycles and climate change.

We build on soil as well as with it and in it. Soil plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystem. I also work on designing and production of biochar based on the need of soil. Being an agricultural systems researcher by training my focus is on agroecology and environmental footprints of agriculture. I have experience of working with crop simulation models on DSSAT platform and DNDC. Advances in watershed, natural resource, and environmental sciences have shown that soil is the foundation of basic ecosystem function. Soil filters our water, provides essential nutrients to our forests and crops, and helps regulate the Earth's temperature as well as many of the important greenhouse gases.

As our awareness of the value of natural and managed ecosystems services grows, new biodiversity, carbon, and water markets are emerging, such as the Chicago Climate Exchange, and the nutrient trading programs under the new executive order on the Protection and Restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. These markets place an economic value on management practices which increase those ecosystem services, producing goods that enhance human and environmental health.

OBJECTIVES

• Preparation, characterization and comparative evaluation of biochar with compost for soil nutrient dynamics
• Effect of biochar biofertilizer as compared to conventional organic and inorganic nutrient management in rice and maize
• Evaluation of residual effect of biochar and compost fertilizers on legume yield

Agricultural Emissions

My research area includes emissions studies from the agriculture sector. We work on quantifications of hotspots of different atmospheric gases such as NH3 and Greenhouse gases (GHG). A greenhouse gas (GHG) is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect on planets.

The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and ozone (O3). I am working on CO2 and CH4 as a part of my doctoral thesis. Over the last fifty years, the increase in agricultural production to meet the food demand of a growing population has resulted in a near doubling of GHG emissions from agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Globally, agriculture faces the triple challenge of increasing production to meet the growing food demand, adapting to changing climatic conditions and reducing agricultural emissions from the fields. Agricultural emissions basically constitute greenhouse gases (GHG) and non-greenhouse gases emissions coming from large land areas.

The changes in climate that can be expected as a result of the ongoing emissions of greenhouse gases could have large, harmful impacts on both plants and animals by making them more vulnerable to the attacks of insects/pests and diseases. Moreover, CO2 and CH4 are the topmost two gases that contribute to the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions at a global level. This growth in agriculture and associated emissions will occur mostly in Asian and African countries, where a large percentage of the population depends on agriculture and allied sectors for their livelihoods. As per EDGAR v 4.3.2 database report of 2016, total global GHG continued to increase at the rate of 0.5% annually reaching up to 49.3 Gigatons of CO2 equivalent.

My study region is the whole of India. Since, India is the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world after the USA and China, therefore, to reduce the emissions at the global level, India has a vital role to play. The agricultural sector is responsible for 18% of gross national GHG emissions in India too mainly through rice cultivation, livestock production, fertilizer use and burning of crop residues. Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to further climate changes. Future changes are expected to include a warmer atmosphere, a warmer and more acidic ocean, higher sea levels, and larger changes in precipitation patterns. The extent of future climate change depends on what we do now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The more we emit, the larger future changes will be.

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will continue to increase unless the billions of tons of our annual emissions decrease substantially. Increased concentrations are expected to increase the earth’s average temperature, influence the patterns and amounts of precipitation, reduce ice and snow cover. It will raise the sea level, increase the acidity of the oceans, increase the frequency, intensity or duration of extreme events, shift ecosystem characteristics, and also increase threats to human health. These changes will impact our food supply, water resources, infrastructure, ecosystems, and even our own health.

Many greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere for long periods of time. As a result, even if emissions stopped increasing, atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations would continue to increase and remain elevated for hundreds of years. Moreover, if we stabilized concentrations and the composition of today's atmosphere remained steady (which would require a dramatic reduction in current greenhouse gas emissions), surface air temperatures would continue to warm.

OBJECTIVES

• To analyze the spatial and temporal variability of ammonia using satellite data and exposing its agriculture sources.
• To identify and quantify the connection of particulate matter with ammonia and its effect on agriculture.
• To identify relation of wet deposition of NH3 and temporal variability of methane over Indian regions.
• To analyze the spatial and temporal variability of carbon dioxide and methane and it’s offset over croplands in India.

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

• My work focus on identification of major agricultural emission hotspots in India, this will help in making a road map to reduce these emissions.
• Our work also suggests the methods and strategies to mitigate the agricultural emissions.

Sudden Stratospheric Warming in the Arctic and the Antarctic

Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) is the phenomenon of rapid rise in temperature in the stratosphere for a few days time. The SSW is the result of the planetary wave interactions on the polar vortex that weakens the vortex and eventually giving rise to a vortex split or a displacement of the vortex to mid latitudes. There are two major types of SSW, a major warming and minor warming. Major warming events are distingushed by the reversal of the westerly winds. The weaker nature of the Arctic vortex in comparison to Antarctic makes Arctic more vulnerbale to SSW events.

The SSWs are studied from the changes in the meteorology of the winters and the changes in the potential vorticity (PV). The vortex splits and displacements are identified using the PV maps. Apart from these the SSW events became significant in the polar latitudes due to its direct impact on the changes in ozone depletion cycles. The ozone loss amount in the years corresponding to both major and minor warming were significantly lower than the cold winters.

OBJECTIVES

• Study the trends of SSW in both the hemispheres and offer a comparison.
• Analyse the resulting ozone loss in those particular winters.
• Assessment of the consequential impacts of the warming in upper atmosphere and the lower troposphere.

SOCIETAL IMPORTANCE

• SSW influences the surface weather, resulting in cold outbursts in the North American region and warming in other regions and several other changes.
• The co-influence of SSW on the ozone loss cycle is important in the global perspective.
