“…The MAC rBC can be calculated by dividing the absorption coefficient measured with the PAX by the rBC mass concentration from the SP2 (MAC rBC = [Absorption] / [rBC]). Due to the difference in cutoff size for PAX (< 2.5 µm) and for SP2 (< 1.0 µm), the MAC rBC may be overestimated by ∼ 13 % given that BC concentration in PM 1.0 accounted for ∼ 85 % of PM 2.5 in the Tibetan Plateau (Wan et al, 2015). Figure 6a and b show histograms of the MAC rBC values during clean days and the pollution episode, respectively.…”

“…In addition to this, they have capacity to change the radiative balance of the atmosphere by absorbing and scattering solar radiation. They also change the microphysical process of clouds and perform as ice nuclei (IN) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) (Ramanathan et al, 2001;Wan et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2015). This phenomenon varies widely depending on particle size, characteristics and chemical compositions of APM (Muller et al, 1999).…”

“…The contribution of OC to PM decreases significantly as the size of PM increases, suggesting the contribution from soil deflation to OC was relatively insignificant. Soil deflation is among significant possible sources of coarse mode OC (Wan et al, 2015). Majority of OC in PM <0.95 also indicates that the dominant part of ambient OC comes from combustion source (s) and/or of secondary origin.…”
