Based on satellite measurements from space, the Indian subcontinent is regarded as a ‘hole in global warming’, as India is warming at only about half the rate of the global average. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is now provided by a new study on regional differences in the hygroscopic growth of particles. It highlights the importance of in-situ measurements, such as those carried out during the “BIOCAT-IIOE-2” measurement campaign on the FS SONNE 2024’s SO305 expedition in the Bay of Bengal.
