Measurement of particulate matter (PM) constituent such as black carbon (BC) over urban sites is critically important owing to its adverse health and climate impacts. However, the impacts associated with BC are poorly understood primarily because of the scarcity and uncertainties of measurements of BC. Here, we present BC measurement at an urban site of Delhi using a characterized continuous soot monitoring system (COSMOS) for a year-long period, i.e., from September, 2019 to August, 2020.

Aerosols distributed in the troposphere can scatter and absorb solar radiation and modify the Earth's radiation budget and cloud properties. The combined effect of scattering and absorption by particles is defined as aerosol extinction coefficient, is a measure of the alteration of radiant energy as it passes through the atmosphere. The aerosol extinction coefficient was derived with the space-borne lidar Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) aboard the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) over the Indian region during 2008–2018.

In the research paper authored by Mohit Singh et al. in 2024, published in the Journal of Aerosol Science and Technology (AST), the estimation of the mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of black carbon was conducted. This estimation was achieved through simultaneous measurements of black carbon utilizing filter-based instruments, namely a characterized continuous soot monitoring system (COSMOS) and Aethalometer. The study was carried out at four distinct sites: Alert, Barrow, Ny-Ålesund, and Pallas, all situated in the Arctic region.

The systematic study of the EM wave propagation in ON to ON-Body using the twelve-cylinder phantom model which aids in static as well as dynamic system modelling is investigated using systematic simulation and experimental measurements in advancement microwave research Lab at the department of Avionics by Elizabeth George and Dr. Chinmoy Saha.
