摘要: Abstract. The mass absorption cross-section (MAC) of elemental carbon (EC) in Beijing was quantified using a thermal-optical analyzer and the influences mixing state sources carbonaceous aerosol were investigated. MAC measured at 632 nm 29.0 32.0 m2 g−1 during winter summer respectively. correlated well with organic (OC) to EC ratio (R2 = 0.91) which includes important information about extent secondary (SOA) production, indicating enhancement by coating SOA. extrapolated value 10.5 when OC is zero, 5.6 after correction factor (1.87) caused artifacts associated "filter-based" methods. also increased sulphate 0.84) concentration below 10 μg m−3, whereas only weekly related above enhanced sulphate. Based on converting approach that accounts for discrepancy measurements methods both light concentration, previously published values converted "equivalent MAC", estimated if same measurement as used this study. MAC" found be much lower regions heavily impacted biomass burning (e.g., India), probably due influence brown carbon. Optical properties water-soluble (WSOC) presented. Light WSOC exhibited strong wavelength (λ) dependence such varied approximately λ−7, characteristic spectra. efficiency (σabs) (measured 365 nm) 1.83 0.70 seasonal pattern σabs attributed difference precursors SOA, because has been demonstrated strongly linked Moreover, higher than results from southeastern United States obtained method study, perhaps burning.
