An extensive field study, RAWEX-GVAX, was carried out during a 10-month (June 2011-March 2012) campaign at ARIES, Nainital and observations on a wide range of parameters like physical and optical properties of aerosols, meteorological parameters and boundary layer evolution were made. This work presents results obtained from high-frequency (four launches per day), balloon-borne observations of meteorological parameters (pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction). These observations show wind speed as high as 84 m/s near the subtropical jet. It is shown that reanalysis wind speeds are in better agreement at 250 hPa (altitude of subtropical jet) than those above or below this value (100 hPa or 500 hPa). These observations also demonstrate that AIRS-derived temperature profiles are negatively biased in the lower altitude region, whereas they are positively biased near the tropopause. WRF simulated results are able to capture variations in temperature, humidity and wind speed profile reasonable well. WRF and AIRS-derived tropopause height, tropopause pressure and tropopause temperature also show agreement with radiosonde estimates.Keywords

Vertical distribution of ozone has been obtained for the first time using INSAT-3D for the period 2013-2017 over the central Himalaya and validated utilizing balloon-borne observations from a high-altitude site in Nainital (29.4°N, 79.5°E, 1793 m amsl). The INSAT-3D retrieved ozone profiles captured ozone gradient and ozone peak altitude successfully, despite only one IR channel for ozone. This demonstrates the capability of the INSAT-3D Sounder in capturing the observed features, with a smaller bias in the stratosphere and somewhat larger bias in the troposphere. Total ozone column from INSAT-3D showed maximum difference of 8% with ozonesonde-derived total ozone column. Larger ozone bias in the lower troposphere could be attributed to lower reliability of regression coefficient and INSAT-3D channel constraints itself, whereas high variability near the tropopause is possibly due to low ozone, poor temperature retrieval near the tropo-pause and stratosphere–troposphere transport process in the Himalayan region.Keywords
