TL;DR: In situ aircraft measurements of trace gases and aerosols were made in the boundary layer (BL) and free troposphere (FT) over Indonesia and Australia during the Biomass Burning and Lightning Experiment (BIBLE)-A and B conducted in August-October 1998 and 1999.

TL;DR: In this article, two semi-continuous Sunset carbon analyzers, with different peak inert mode temperatures (615 and 740°C), were simultaneously operated to measure fine particulate organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) using a thermal-optical transmittance method at an urban site in Beijing, China, from 16 August to 3 September 2006 during the CAREBeijing 2006 campaign.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors estimate the source contributions of Arctic BC to near-surface and vertically integrated atmospheric BC mass concentrations (MBC_SRF and MBC_COL), BC deposition flux, and BC radiative effects at the top of the atmosphere and snow surface (REBC_TOA and REBC_SNOW).

TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments using mobility and mass-selected fullerene soot particles to assess the performance of a high-temperature denuder system for treating BC prior to single-particle soot photometer (SP2) analysis is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an in-depth analysis of VTDMA results, focusing on the following topics: (1) comparison of the mixing state of soot measured by a VTM and the aerosol hygroscopicity mixing state determined by a CCN (cloud condensation nuclei) counter; (2) diurnal variation and evolution of SOOT mixing state at different size ranges; (3) calculation of kex→in and the influence of emissions on it; and (4) potential parameterization methods.
