Black carbon mass concentration profile with altitude

Caption

Fig. 1. (Left) Vertical profile of black carbon (BC) mass concentrations (median and 25–75 percentile ranges) observed during aircraft-based observations made over the Arctic (>66.5 degrees North) in spring of various years. (Right) Column amounts of BC mass concentration at altitudes between 0 and 5 km. Observations (blue circles) and numerical model simulations (average over the Arctic) for anthropogenic BC (black vertical bars) and biomass
