Awan cokelat Asia

Awan Vokelat Atmosferik di belahan Tiongkok

Awan cokelat Samudra Hindia atau awan cokelat Asia adalah sebuah lapisan polusi udara yang menerjang belahan Asia Selatan, yakni utara Samudra Hindia, India, dan Pakistan.^[1]^[2] Terlibat dari foto-foto satelit, awan tersebut tampak sebagai noda cokelat raksasa di udara di sepanjang sebagian besar Asia Selatan dan Samudra Hindia setiap tahun antara Januari dan Maret, mungkin juga pada bulan-bulan sebelumnya dan bulan-bulan berikutnya. Istilah tersebut dicetuskan dalam laporan-laporan dari UNEP Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX).^[3]
