Monitoring and assessment of a eutrophicated coastal lake using multivariate approaches by U.G. Abhjna

“…Cluster analysis showed four clusters based on the similarity of water quality characteristics among sampling stations during three different seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon). Multidimensional scaling in conjunction with cluster analysis identified four distinct groups of sites with varied water quality conditions such as upstream, transitional and downstream conditions  in Veli-Akkulam Lake and a reference condition at Vellayani Lake. …”

Representing the Australian Heat Low in a GCM Using Different Surface and Cloud Schemes by Matthew M. Allcock, Duncan Ackerley

“…The high insolation during the Southern Hemisphere summer leads to the development of a heat low over north-west Australia, which is a significant feature of the monsoon circulation. It is therefore important that General Circulation Models (GCMs) are able to represent this feature well in order to adequately represent the Australian Monsoon. …”

Action Plans to Reduce PM2.5 Concentrations in Hotspots of Delhi-NCR Using a One-way Coupled Modeling Approach by Shubham Sharma, Mukesh Khare, Sri Harsha Kota

“…Abstract The concentration of PM2.5 in Delhi, one of the most polluted capital cities globally, frequently exceeds the Indian National Ambient Air Quality Standards, especially during the post-monsoon and winter months. This study evaluates the changes in PM2.5 concentrations across Delhi using a one way coupled model (WRF-CMAQ-AERMOD) for various hotspot-specific intervention scenarios during post-monsoon and winter of 2018. …”

Influence of Typhoons on Chemical Makeup of Rainwater in Zhanjiang, China by Zhen Zeng, Xin Zhou, Zhiyang Li, Fajin Chen, Huijie Luo, Guirong He, Ziyun Deng, Chunqing Chen, Qibin Lao

“…The ionic composition varied seasonally, being high in dry seasons whereas low in wet seasons; ion levels were controlled by rainfall dilution effects rather than by the monsoon transition. Source determination demonstrated that the marine influences in the dry and wet seasons were similar, further indicating the limited impact of the monsoon climate on the ionic species’ seasonal patterns. …”
