dc.description.abstract	Doppler Lidar and Multi Filter Rotating Shadow band Radiometer (MFRSR) observations are utilized to show wave like signatures in aerosol optical depth (AOD) during day time boundary layer evolution over the Himalayan region. Fourier analysis depicted 60–80 min periods dominant during after noon hours, implying that observed modulations could be plausible reason for the AOD forenoon–afternoon asymmetry which was previously reported. Inclusion of wave amplitude in diurnal variation of aerosol ra diative forcing estimates showed ~40% additional warming in the atmosphere relative to mean AOD. The present observations emphasize the importance of wave induced variations in AOD and radiation budget over the site.	en_US
