The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX), conducted primarily between 1995 and 1999, was a multinational research effort to study the impact of aerosols on climate, particularly in the Indian Ocean region. It involved scientists from the United States, India, Europe, and other regions, using aircraft, ships, satellites, and ground-based observations to measure aerosol concentrations, their optical properties, and their effects on solar radiation and regional climate. The project aimed to understand how human-made and natural aerosols—tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere— influence weather patterns, cloud formation, and the Earth’s radiation balance. INDOEX revealed that a thick layer of aerosol pollution, often called the "Asian Brown Cloud," formed over the Indian Ocean due to industrial emissions, biomass burning, and other human activities in South Asia.
