Temporal Dynamics and Long-Term Trends in Aerosol Optical Properties over Two Sites of Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP)
Insights from AERONET Observations
This study presents the longest time series of aerosol optical properties and Precipitable Water Vapor (PW) from two AERONET sites in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Analyzing 22 years of data (2001–2022) from Kanpur and 16 years (2007–2023) from Gandhi College, the study focuses
...
Hypergolic propellants have long been central to spacecraft propulsion because of their storability, reliability and rapid ignition. Conventional systems such as hydrazine derivatives paired with oxidisers like nitrogen tetroxide deliver ignition delays in the order of a few mill
