Continuous measurements of Black Carbon (BC) aerosol mass concentrations were carried at Dehradun (30.33°N, 78.04°E, 700 m amsl), a semi-urban site in the foothills of north-westHimalayas, India during January 2011-December 2017.

- The study analyzes biomass burning trends and their effects on aerosol properties in Northern India using satellite data from January 2003 to December 2017, finding an overall increase in fire occurrences over the years.
- It identifies significant fire seasons, predominantly pre-monsoon and post-monsoon, with specific hotspots in Punjab and Haryana contributing notably to total fires, mostly due to crop residue burning.
- The research indicates that this burning elevates aerosol optical depth and related parameters, impacting air quality and regional aerosol movement, supported by both satellite and ground-based observations.
Spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements obtained from multi-wavelength radiometer under cloudless conditions over Doon Valley, in the foothills of the western Himalayas, are analysed during the period January 2007 to December 2012. High AOD values of 0.46 ± 0.
