6. FACILITIES & EXPERTISE AUTOMATIC WETONLY & BULK COLLECTORS

7. PASSIVE AEROSOL COLLECTORS

8. ACTIVE AEROSOL COLLECTORS – DENUDERS

9. AUTOMATIC WEATHER MONITORING STATION SOLAR CELL/BATTERY OPERATED DOWNLOADED AT REGULAR INTERVALS TO A LAPTOP * TEMPERATURE * WIND DIRECTION & SPEED * RELATIVE HUMIDITY * RAIN FALL

10. INSTRUMENTAL FACILITIES STATE-OF ART EQUIPMENTS GC WITH METHANIZER IC. XRD/XRF ICP-MS. NMR SEM. TEM AETHALOMETER GRIMM’S SPECTROMETER

11. IMPORTANT FINDINGS GHG emission from rice and pulse cultivation Rice Methane E SIF3.3gm/m 2 Rainy season 1.97gm/m 2 Kharif season NO2 0.01 mgm/m 2 7.11 mgm/m 2 Pulses 3.38-4.1 NO2

12. IMPORTANT FINDINGS Factors affecting 1.Soil temperature 2.Fertiliser addition 3.Soil redox potential 4.Soil organic content

13. IMPORTANT FINDINGS WET AND BULK COLLECTOR 6.6 AND 7 µEQ/LT RESPECTIVELY ACID VALUE. THE VALUES OF ANIONS LIKE Cl, F, NO3, SO4, ACETATE AND FORMATE INCREASING

14. IMPORTANT FINDINGS  ACIDITY OF RAINWATER, AEROSOLS & PARTICULATE MATTER INCREASING  NUMBER OF ACIDIC (pH <5.6) RAIN EVENTS INCREASING  NEUTRALIZING/ BUFFERING CAPACITY DECREASING  POLLUTANTS ARE MOSTLY OF CONTINENTAL ORIGIN  CORROSION OF MATERIALS ARE SIGNIFICANT

15. INDOFLUX – BASIC REQUIREMENTS NETWORK SITES IN SOURCE/ SINK REGIONS LONGTERM MEASURING EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE DISTINCTION BETWEEN NATURAL & ANTHROPOGENIC FLUXES THROUGH SOURCE APORTIONMENT QA/QC & INTERCOMPARISON IN NET- WORK MODE

16. OBJECTIVES OF RRL STUDY TO SET-UP A MICRO-MET TOWER WITH ALL SENSORS/REGULATORS AS PER INDOFLUX PROTOCOL AT THE EXISTING RURAL STATION OF BHUBANESWAR TO ENGAGE GAS SENSORS FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF TRACE COMPONENTS LIKE WATER VAPOR, CO 2, NET ECO-SYSTEM EXCHANGE, BIOMASS ENTHALPY CHANGE AND METABOLIC HEAT STORAGE, TRACE GAS EMISSIONS FROM TERRESTRIAL SOURCES etc.

17. OBJECTIVES OF RRL STUDY-2 TO CONTINUOUSLY MONITOR AEROSOL, DRY AND WET DEPOSITIONS TO MONITOR CHANGES IN CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SOIL, PARTICULARLY NUTRIENT DEPLETION/AVAILABILITY TO ANALYZE SAMPLES AND INTERPRET DATA TO PARTICIPATE IN QA/QC EXERCISE
