Lightning creates some of the hottest temperatures on Earth, powerful enough to alter the air around it. Now, studies show #air pollution can influence how lightning behaves, linking ancient storms to modern #climate change.

Excited to share our JGR: Atmospheres paper! ⚡🌩️
We find a clear nonlinear link between aerosols and lightning over India, highlighting the need to include aerosol information in numerical models for better prediction of lightning.

Clean air is an economic asset. Indo-Gangetic Plain’s aspirational target of 35 by 35, meaning reducing annual PM2.5 level to 35 microgram per cubic meter by 2035, can be achieved with clear time bound sectoral implementation plan, regional cooperation and public engagement.
Exciting to see our study on India's photovoltaic future featured in The Hindu! 🗞️
Air pollution & climate action impact solar energy—PV cell temperatures could change, stressing the need for integrated solutions.

Had the privilege to discuss our research on the @PhysicsWorld Weekly Podcast with Dr. Hamish Johnston.
A fascinating experience 🎙️🔬

The devastating #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire continue to burn across parts of southern California today. This imagery from @NOAA's #GOESWest (GOES-18) 🛰️ shows the smoke and heat signatures from the #wildfires from Jan. 7-8, 2025.
🔊Publication alert!
In our latest study, we observed that the region aerosol composition plays a crucial role in modulating lightning flash rate over Indian subcontinent. Give it a read! https://t.co/EuyFoLi4DG @IOPenvironment@somagnik
It was a very nice experience to present our work in @igac2024. Here, we tried to quantify lightning induced emissions and its impact on air quality over India using observations and numerical model simulations. Had fruitful interactions with peers from scientific communities.
