  • Size-Selected Black Carbon Mass Distributions and Mixing State in Polluted and Clean Environments of Northern India Tomi Raatikainen1, David Brus1, Rakesh K
    Size-selected black carbon mass distributions and mixing state in polluted and clean environments of northern India Tomi Raatikainen1, David Brus1, Rakesh K. Hooda1,2, Antti-Pekka Hyvärinen1, Eija Asmi1, Ved P. Sharma2, Antti Arola3, and Heikki Lihavainen1 1Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland 2The Energy and Resources Institute, Delhi, India 3Finnish Meteorological Institute, Kuopio, Finland Correspondence to: T. Raatikainen (tomi.raatikainen@fmi.fi) Abstract. We have measured black carbon properties by using a size-selected Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2). The measurements were conducted in northern India at two sites: Gual Pahari is located at the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) and Mukteshwar at the Himalayan foothills. Northern India is known as one of the absorbing aerosol hot spots, but detailed in- formation about absorbing aerosol mixing state is still largely missing. Previous black carbon equivalent black carbon (eBC) 5 mass concentration measurements are available for this region and these are consistent with our observations showing that refractory black carbon (rBC) concentrations are about ten times higher in Gual Pahari than those at Mukteshwar. Also the number fraction of absorbing rBC-containing particles is higher in Gual Pahari, but individual absorbing particles including rBC-containing particles and their size distributions are fairly similar. These findings indicate that particles at both sites have similar local and regional emission sources, but aerosols are also transported from the main source regions (IGP) to the less 10 polluted regions (Himalayan foothills). Detailed examination of the absorbing rBC-containing particle properties revealed that they are most likely irregular particles such as fractal aggregates, but the exact structure remains unknown.

Springs occur where sloping ground and impermeable strata intersect with the ground water table. The water sources of such springs, in most cases are unconfined aquifers where the water flows under gravity. Spring water discharge fluctuations owe primarily due to rainfall pattern in the recharge area or more precisely stated, to variation in the amount of rainwater that is able to infiltrate the ground and recharge the ground water. Marked variation in the discharge following rainfall indicates rapid infiltration of rainwater and recharge of the groundwater in colluvial-related springs, and discharge curves show strongly periodic seasonal rhythm. Superimposed on these variations is a periodic (monthly) fluctuation resulting from occasional heavy rainfalls, generally in the rainy season.

  • Chandrashila Peak Climb ‐ Chopta, Tungnath, Deoriatal Trek
    CHANDRASHILA PEAK CLIMB ‐ CHOPTA, TUNGNATH, DEORIATAL TREK NATURE OF TRIP Trekking LOCATION Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand DURATION 5 Days (Haridwar ‐ Haridwar) TREKKING DAYS 3 Days MAXIMUM ALTITUDE Chandrashila peak summit (4000m) GRADE Moderate SEASON Sep‐Nov (in winters, Dec‐Mar, we run snow treks on this trail) ACCOMODATION Alpine Camping ‐ 2 Nights Hotel/Eco lodge ‐ 2 Nights GROUP SIZE Maximum of 15 persons ...We welcome you to join us on this memorable trip to the Himalayas BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CLIMB & THE TREK If one is looking at a short 5‐day trek in the Himalayas then look no further. This is one of the most enchanting short treks and lies in the Garhwal region of Himalayas. This hike is in a protected area and hence there are minimal signs of civilization and abundance of flora & fauna, which adds to the beauty of the place. In the first leg of the trek we hike up to Deoriatal. This is a beautiful lake at an altitude of 2438 m and has captivating surroundings with forests all around. The Chaukhamba peak feels like it is an arm’s length away and the reflection of the mighty peak in the crystal clear waters of the lake creates a beautiful effect. The story associated with this scenic place is that when the Pandavas were in exile and were hiding from the Kaurava king, Duryodhan, they stopped nearby for a rest. When their mother Kunti felt thirsty, one by one four of her sons went to fetch water from this lake but died, as they could not answer the question put forth to them by the Yaksha Devta who resided here.
