Exploring the Spatiotemporal Variation in Light-Absorbing Aerosols and Its Relationship with Meteorology over the Hindukush–Himalaya–Karakoram Region by Syed Shakeel Ahmad Shah, Zhongwei Huang, Ehtiram ul Haq, Khan Alam

“…Further research is needed to understand the impact of light-absorbing aerosols on the Hindukush–Karakoram–Himalaya region in northern Pakistan. Therefore, spatiotemporal variation in absorbing surface mass concentration retrieved from Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, optical properties such as aerosol optical depth (AOD) and absorption aerosol optical depth (AAOD) from the ozone monitoring instrument, and meteorological parameters from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis were investigated over northern Pakistan from 2001 to 2021. …”
