Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the role of aerosols in the interplay between land and sea during two weak and three strong episodic events, namely, La Nina [2005 (weak), 2008 (strong) and 2010 (strong)] and El Nino [2006 (weak) and 2009 (strong)]. For this purpose, the NCEP/NCAR re-analysis data for the Niño 3.4 region and selected-domain, Arabian Sea (15o-20oN, 60o-71oE), based on HYSPLIT back-trajectory model analysis, in the proximity of experimental site data of sea surface temperature, and concurrent AERONET (land); MODIS and OMI (satellite) columnar data of aerosol optical depth, fine mode fraction and single scattering albedo have been analyzed. The main results reveal interesting features which include.
