Black carbon (BC) has emerged as an important short-lived climate forcer. Due to its light
absorption properties, BC can darken the snow/ice surface, affect the energy balance, and …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Combustion-derived black carbon (BC) aerosols accelerate glacier melting in the Himalayas
and in Tibet (the Third Pole (TP)), thereby limiting the sustainable freshwater supplies for …

Light absorbing particles (LAP, eg, black carbon, brown carbon, and dust) influence water
and energy budgets of the atmosphere and snowpack in multiple ways. In addition to their …

Light‐absorbing impurities (LAIs) in snow of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) and their
climatic impacts are of interest not only because this region borders areas affected by the …

Black carbon (BC) and dust deposited on snow and glacier surfaces can reduce the surface
albedo, accelerate snow and ice melt, and trigger albedo feedback. Assessing BC and dust …

Snow cover plays a key role for sustaining ecology and society in mountainous regions.
Light-absorbing particulates (including black carbon, organic carbon, and mineral dust) …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings, also known as the Third Pole, play an
important role in the global and regional climate and hydrological cycle. Carbonaceous …

Tropical glaciers are extremely sensitive to changes of climate variables. Their response to
climate change is complex and depends on multiple mechanisms affecting their mass and …

The Himalayan cryosphere borders global hotspots for emissions of black carbon (BC), a
carbonaceous aerosol with a short atmospheric lifespan and potentially significant impacts …
