Abstract: Black carbon (BC) aerosols, one of the substantial contributors to climate change and adverse health effects, are primarily emitted into the atmosphere through incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. The radiative properties of BC depend on its vertical profile, and understanding its vertical distribution is crucial for accurately assessing its impact on climate systems. However, current modeling-based studies on BC vertical profiles are limited, highlighting the need for improved measurement techniques. Among all the other methods, drones have recently gained popularity. This research aims to assess the vertical distribution of BC aerosols using a drone at two distinct sites in the Czech Republic: 1. NAOK (National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice), which represents a regional background location, and 2. FMP (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in Prague) represents an urban site.
