The Indian Subcontinent Region is undergoing rapid environmental changes, for example: climate warming, glacier retreat, worsening air quality, and changes in the monsoon. The proposed research mainly focuses on the synthesize ground, aircraft and satellite measurements of atmospheric composition for the Indian Subcontinent Region over the last 20 years. Further setup, run, and carefully evaluate against measurement an atmospheric chemistry/aerosol model for the Indian Subcontinent Region, and use model sensitivity experiments to build an understanding of what controls atmospheric composition over the region. It also deals with the use of the model and measurements to analyse interactions between air quality and climate over the Indian Subcontinent Region, leading to an improved scientific understanding of the underlying mechanisms that control these interactions.
