Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Aerosol
  • Meteorology

His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Aerosol, Acid rain, Chemical composition and Monsoon. His Total organic carbon study, which is part of a larger body of work in Environmental chemistry, is frequently linked to Mass concentration and Industrial growth, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Aerosol study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mineralogy and Relative humidity.

Acid rain is connected with Alkali soil, Environmental engineering and Water pollution in his study. His Chemical composition research incorporates elements of Nitrate, Dominance, Trend surface analysis, Urbanization and Troposphere. Monsoon is closely attributed to HYSPLIT in his work.

His most cited work include:

  • Brown Clouds over South Asia: Biomass or Fossil Fuel Combustion? (467 citations)
  • A global assessment of precipitation chemistry and deposition of sulfur, nitrogen, sea salt, base cations, organic acids, acidity and pH, and phosphorus (417 citations)
  • Seasonal variation of black carbon aerosols over a tropical urban city of Pune, India (114 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

P.S. Prakasa Rao spends much of his time researching Aerosol, Monsoon, Environmental chemistry, Chemical composition and Precipitation. His study in Aerosol is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmosphere, Diurnal temperature variation and Troposphere. In Monsoon, P.S. Prakasa Rao works on issues like Rainwater harvesting, which are connected to Biomass burning.

Many of his research projects under Environmental chemistry are closely connected to Acid rain and Composition with Acid rain and Composition, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work deals with themes such as Forcing and Air quality index, which intersect with Radiative forcing. His work in the fields of Air quality index, such as Emission inventory, intersects with other areas such as Radiocarbon dating.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Aerosol (40.00%)
  • Monsoon (31.67%)
  • Environmental chemistry (30.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Aerosol (40.00%)
  • Precipitation (16.67%)
  • Sulfur (5.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Aerosol, Precipitation, Sulfur, Radiative forcing and Air quality index are his primary areas of study. His Aerosol research incorporates themes from Seawater and Analytical chemistry. P.S. Prakasa Rao interconnects Biomass burning and Sea salt in the investigation of issues within Precipitation.

Much of his study explores Sea salt relationship to Environmental chemistry. His Sulfur research spans across into areas like East Asia and Period. His studies deal with areas such as Troposphere and Forcing as well as Radiative forcing.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Global and regional trends of atmospheric sulfur (45 citations)
  • Tethered balloon-born and ground-based measurements of black carbon and particulate profiles within the lower troposphere during the foggy period in Delhi, India (35 citations)
  • Nature and Sources of Ionic Species in Precipitation across the Indo-Gangetic Plains, India (32 citations)
