Distinct Size Distribution of Black carbon (BC) aerosol particles in Snow and Rain in the Arctic

Earth and Space Sciences

Seasonally averaged size distributions of BC in snow and rain were very similar, and they showed little seasonal variation, except in fall. This result suggests that the BC size distribution in ambient air was also stable.
