Abstract:	摘要： We analysed the atmospheric aerosol extinction properties under an influence of inter-seasonal and sea breeze (SB) transport processes over coastal West Bengal (WB) Gangetic plain (WBGP). The predominant frequency of airmass back trajectory path was through the Arabian Sea (AS) during southwest monsoon (SWmon) and that through the Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP) during transition to winter (Twin) season and the Bay of Bengal during transition to summer (Tsumm) season. Aerosol surface concentration (Sconc) and aerosol extinction exhibited heterogeneity in the seasonal variability over coastal WBGP with their highest seasonal mean being during winter and summer seasons respectively. Seasonal mean extinction was respectively 17% and 30% higher during winter and summer seasons than that during SWmon. While angstrom exponent (AE) was less than one during SWmon, Tsumm, and summer seasons, it was near to one during Twin and winter monsoon (Wmon), and was more than one during winter season. Relative contribution (%) of upper (at altitude above 1km) aerosol layer (UAL) to aerosol extinction during summer was four times of that during winter. Seasonally distinct vertical distribution of aerosol extinction associated with meteorological and SB influenced transport and that due to influence of high rise open burning emissions was inferred. Possible aerosol subtypes extracted during days in Tsumm were inferred to be mostly constituted of dust and polluted dust during daytime, in addition to polluted continental and smoke in UAL during nighttime. In contrast to that at nearby urban location (Kolkata, KOL), intensity of updraft of airmass evaluated during evening/SB activity hour (1730 local time, (LT)) at study site (Kharagpur, KGP) was as high as 3.5 times the intensity during near to noon hour (1130 LT); this intensity was the highest along coast of westBengal-Orissa. Enhanced Sconc and relative contribution of UAL to aerosol extinction (58% compared to 36% only at nearby urban location) was inferred associated with SB activity. •Heterogeneity in seasonal variability of aerosol Sconc and extinction•Winter aerosol extinction was 0.1 lower than summer.•Summer UAL extinction was four times of that during winter.•Intensity of airmass updraft higher in evening over coastal WBGP unlike near-by urban location.•Higher Sconc and UAL extinction due to SB effects at KGP than at KOL over coastal WBGP 出版者： Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2016-01-01 出處： Atmospheric research, 2016-01, Vol.167, p.224-236 資源來源： Elsevier ScienceDirect Journals Complete 版權： 2015 Elsevier B.V. 識別號： ISSN: 0169-8095 識別號： EISSN: 1873-2895 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.atmosres.2015.07.021
