...The comprehensive literature review of Andreae and Merlet [2001] has become widely used, in particular for the compilation of global inventories [e.g., van der Werf et al., 2006; Schultz et al., 2008]. However, this review included only values based on thermal oxidation techniques and excluded optical absorption measurements. Even the highest BC emission factor in Andreae and Merlet [2001] is lower than values inferred from absorption measurements, which have been used in other studies [Patterson and McMahon, 1984; Liousse et al, 1996; Chin et al., 2002; Liley et al., 2003]. In part due to higher emission factors, Liousse et al. [2010] estimated African biomass burning emissions that were about 2.5 higher than GFED. Martins et al. [1998a] showed that thermal oxidation measurements underestimated BC mass, leading to unrealistically high MACBC values. Therefore, it is possible that the use of imperfect thermal methods yields BC emission factors that are too low. [62] Comparisons between chemical and optical measurements would increase confidence in biomass-burning emission factors for BC. A review by Watson et al. [2005] showed differences of up to a factor of seven between different BC field measurements and discusses the various uncertainties related to both thermal and optical measurements....
