文摘

Anomalous fires are observed in April 2016 over Himalaya in last 14 years. Fire-derived BC/OC aerosols are transported over Himalayan glaciers. Carbonaceous aerosols could heat up Himalayan atmosphere by 0.04–0.06 K/day. Meteorological changes & BC absorption lead to ∼5–20% decrease in snow cover.
