Impact of aerosol concentration on elevation‐dependent warming pattern in the mountains of Nepal
2022
Overview
Greater warming rates in the mountain areas (higher elevations) compared to other parts of the world have drawn the attention of the scientific community in recent years. In this study, we first analyzed elevation‐dependent warming (EDW) patterns based on maximum temperature trends along the south–north temperature gradients of Nepal and then focused on influencing factors of EDW. Nonparametric statistical test was used to identify the warming trend (1970–2016) in each meteorological station along the altitude gradients. Furthermore, aerosol optical depth data was used to observe aerosol concentrations in different seasons across Nepal. Overall, the EDW trend was found positive on the mean annual and seasonal cycle in the study area. It was observed that there was more significant positive correlation of warming rates with altitude below the middle parts of the Lower Hills while a less pronounced correlation above it. This different behavior is attributed to high aerosol concentration on the lower part of this region. Distinct elevation‐dependent warming (EDW) pattern was observed in the mountains of Nepal. The EDW pattern was found up to the middle part of Lower Hills. A deviation of EDW resulted due to more aerosol loading on the lower part of Lower Hills.
