Vertical distribution of black carbon (BC)
Julaha, Kajal
Black Carbon (BC) is one of the leading contributors affecting our climate system. Absorbing at all visible wavelengths results in a warmer environment and thus has been considered the second most important contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide. The primary sources of BC aerosol are the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass burning. However, the composition of atmospheric aerosols varies with the height above the Earth’s surface. Recent studies have shown significant uncertainties (about 25%) in model simulations of the vertical BC distribution, both on the regional and global levels. BC’s vertical transport is suggested to be one area where the models still differ significantly,4,5 highlighting further investigation.
