Research activities in the Atmospheric Sciences Group are oriented towards a better understanding of the complex processes (physical, chemical and dynamical) operating in the Earth's atmosphere. The Atmospheric Research Group was established in the year 2002 with a humble beginning of Aerosol Optical Depth Observations. followed by BC, Ozone, CO, NOy, CH₄, SO₂ , NMHCs, CO₂, N₂ O and boundary layer meteorology (tower based) is also taken into account. ARIES has also established a wind profiling facility using stratospheric troposphere radar (ST radar), lidar and balloon-borne observations of ozone.

Research Program

Trace gases: Surface observations of many trace gases, including greenhouse gases, known Has happened. The vertical distribution and meteorological parameters of ozone are being measured using balloon-borne sensors.

Boundary Layer Meteorology: ARIES is a meteorological instrument for comprehensive observation of the boundary layer Equipment is Equipment is the tower that hosts the study.

Mobility: Using the ARIES ST radar and balloon-borne GPS  radiosonde is being done.

Aerosols: Various physical, optical and chemical properties of aerosols are being observed. Aerosol scattering properties (nephelometer) and aerodynamic particle size (APS) are being observed.
