Measurement of black carbon (BC) was carried out at Syowa station Antarctica (69° S, 39° E) from February 2004 until January 2007. The BC concentration at Syowa ranged from below detection to 176 ng m −3 during the measurements. Higher BC concentrations were observed mostly under strong wind (blizza...
