Refractory black carbon aerosols (rBC) emitted by biomass burning (fires) and fossilfuel combustion, affect global climate and atmospheric chemistry. In the SouthernHemisphere (SH), rBC is transported in the atmosphere from low latitudes to Antarctica5 and deposited to the polar ice sheet preserving...
