Observational evidence of solar dimming: Offsetting surface warming over India

Abstract: 1981 -1990 and 1991 -2000 showed strong decline during the second decade with an average reduction of 5% per two decades. Despite the drastic decrease in S, the all India averaged surface maximum and minimum air temperatures have been increasing. But, the change in increase in maximum temperature from the first decade to second decade is only marginal under the present situation of drastic increase in greenhouse gas emissions, while the increase in minimum temperature has been doubled.

“…Similarly to the region in Northwest China, the observed radiation records in India show a continuous decrease in SSR from 1964 to 2000 with no substantial recovery in the more recent period Ramanathan et al 2005;Kumari et al 2007;Ohmura 2009). This is illustrated in Fig.…”

“…4 it can be seen that cooling seen in a major part of the Indo-Gangetic plain areas in northern India has been replaced by warming, although a few small pockets of cooling remain in the eastern parts of northern India. The cooling observed over the IndoGangetic region could be due to the presence of aerosols and related solar dimming (Sarkar et al 2006, Padma Kumari et al 2007). The significant warming observed in the recent decades is in line with some of the model-projected temperature changes over India (Krishna Kumar et al 2005, Turner et al 2007).…”

“…17.1c). This is likely because of increased air pollution in the region, the "brown cloud," that blocks more sunlight counteracting the warming due to greenhouse gases, especially in premonsoon maximum temperatures (Padma Kumari et al 2007;Wild 2012). The CMIP5 historical greenhouse gas (GHG) experiments without aerosols indeed indicate a larger trend in the Bay of Bengal (sea points in 10°-25°N, 80°-90°E), 1.6°C (100 yr) −1 over October-December from 1970 to 2005, than the historical experiments, 1.3°C (100 yr) −1 .…”

“…This precludes an attribution of the floods to anthropogenic factors, probably to a large extent due to the two main pollutants, greenhouse gases and aerosols, having opposing effects. Over land this opposition is discussed by Padma Kumari et al (2007) and Wild (2012).…”
