Tropospheric Ozone Trends Over India from 2004-2020
Tropospheric Ozone Trends Over India from 2004-2020
Session ID#: 124920
Session Description:
This study examines the annual and seasonal spatial distribution of tropospheric ozone trends and the distribution of tropospheric ozone columns in India over the time span 2004-2020. It investigates the natural (e.g. monsoon season) and anthropogenic (e.g. air pollution) attributions to TOC distributions and trends in India. This research uses NASA’s Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and the linear regression model. Global climate numerical model simulations data will be used for visualization techniques. The distribution of tropospheric ozone in India during 2004-2020 increased as more anthropogenic sources of ozone emissions were introduced to the region, via manufacturing, agriculture, public transportation, etc. Seasonally, there are changes in India’s tropospheric ozone spatial and temporal distributions due to the monsoon weather system in the region. Further research will continue to investigate the socioeconomic and natural influences at different times that the varying sources surged to identify what most likely contributed.
