AAAS: "Losing visibility." Extreme smog frequently occurs in northern India in late autumn + winter, partly due to agricultural burning. But 'is this trend caused by more than just increasing amounts of anthropogenic air pollution or is the problem more complex?' "Gautam et al. present 40 years of satellite data showing that greater lower tropospheric stability and an increase in relative humidity have driven a more than fivefold increase in low-visibility days over that period." It is hoped that teasing out the relationships of aerosol-radiation-meteorological feedback might assist in developing better pollution mitigation strategies. #india #pollutioncontrol #agriculture
