Brief communication: An alternative method for estimating the scavenging efficiency of black carbon by meltwater over sea ice

<p>The meltwater scavenging coefficient (MSC) of black carbon (BC) is a crucial parameter in snow and sea ice models, as it determines the BC enrichment in the surface layer of melting snow over sea ice and therefore modulates the BC–snow–albedo feedbacks. We present a new method for MSC estim...
