Refractory black carbon aerosols (rBC) emittedby biomass burning (fires) and fossil fuel combustion, affectglobal climate and atmospheric chemistry. In the SouthernHemisphere (SH), rBC is transported in the atmospherefrom low- and mid-latitudes to Antarctica and deposited tothe polar ice sheet prese...
