The optical and radiative characteristics of water-soluble and carbonaceous aerosol species in the PM2.5 samples were examined for a representative megacity over the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB). Aerosol optical and radiative transfer models were used to extract sulphate (SO4), nitrate (NO3), organic c...
