Abstract

Atmosphere of Bombay became very dusty and visibility was reduced considerably during the period 6 -10 April 1981. Possibly this was due to the introduction of dust storm particles derived from the arid regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Size distribution of aerosol particles during the episode are compared with that of the preceding week. Derived parameters like number and volume concentrations and density of particles are also compared for the two weeks. Transport mechanism of these particles is discussed taking into consideration meteorological conditions persisting during that period.
