Evaluation of Background Black Carbon Concentration in India by Maji Smaran, V. Vinoj

“…In this study, an effort is made to understand and segregate BC, an important primary aerosol/air pollutant, into the background (the minimum concentration levels that exist due to regional and long-range transport) and foreground concentrations (local emissions) using a simple methodology. The method is evaluated for consistency using ground-based observations (BC from Aethalometer) and extended to the whole Indian region using chemical reanalysis datasets (MERRA-2, Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, version 2). …”
