Researcher Y. Jaya Rao has made significant contributions to the fields of atmospheric science and aerosol physics, with a focus on understanding the Indian summer monsoon and its effects on air quality and climate. Recent studies have explored hygroscopic growth, CCN activation, and new particle formation over regions with distinct environmental conditions, shedding light on the complex interactions between aerosols, clouds, and precipitation. Rao's work has also investigated aerosol-cloud droplet characteristics, remote sensing of tropospheric aerosols, and mixed layer height measurement using lidar technology, providing valuable insights into atmospheric dynamics and climate variability.
