Black carbon (BC) has emerged as an important short-lived climate forcer. Due to its light
absorption properties, BC can darken the snow/ice surface, affect the energy balance, and …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Combustion-derived black carbon (BC) aerosols accelerate glacier melting in the Himalayas
and in Tibet (the Third Pole (TP)), thereby limiting the sustainable freshwater supplies for …

Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

Light absorbing particles (LAP, eg, black carbon, brown carbon, and dust) influence water
and energy budgets of the atmosphere and snowpack in multiple ways. In addition to their …

Elemental-, equivalent black-and refractory black-carbon are terms that have been defined
in order to dissect the more general term, black carbon, into its component parts related to its …

Light‐absorbing impurities (LAIs) in snow of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) and their
climatic impacts are of interest not only because this region borders areas affected by the …

Black carbon (BC) and dust deposited on snow and glacier surfaces can reduce the surface
albedo, accelerate snow and ice melt, and trigger albedo feedback. Assessing BC and dust …

Particulate black carbon (BC) affects global warming by absorbing the solar radiation, by
affecting cloud formation, and by decreasing ground albedo when deposited to snow or ice …

Light absorbing impurities (LAI) initiate powerful snow albedo feedbacks, yet due to a
scarcity of observations and measurements, LAI radiative forcing is often neglected or poorly …
