Evaluation of MERRA-2 Black Carbon Characteristics and Potential Sources over China

Evaluation of MERRA-2 Black Carbon Characteristics and Potential Sources over China

Black carbon (BC), an important component of atmospheric aerosol, plays a significant role in regional climate, hydrological cycle, variation of monsoon rainfall, and human health. The 40-year detailed atmospheric BC over China from 1981 to 2020 is systematically investigated through the MERRA-2 rea...
