dc.description.abstract	In this report, we attempt to quantify direct aerosol radiative forcing by considering the diurnal variation of aerosols over central Himalayan region. The measured day time aerosol optical depth (AOD) values are higher by a small magnitude ≤ 15% during forenoon and reached as high as 90% by late afternoon when compare tonight time AOD.The above observation gives clue about transport of regional polluted aerosols to the observational site. Our results show,10 (16)% increment in atmospheric radiative forcing due to diurnal variation of aerosols in stead of average aerosols during winter(post-monsoon)season.	en_US
