Comparison of Spheroidal Carbonaceous Particle Data with Modelled Atmospheric Black Carbon Concentration and Deposition and Air Mass Sources in Northern Europe, 1850–2010
Figure 4
Observed depositional fluxes of SCP and modelled BC deposition at the study sites from 1850 to 2010. Results are given in milligrams per square meter per year (mg ). (a) SCP depositional flux for the five dated study lakes, (b) SCP depositional flux for the lakes in 10-year averages, (c) modelled time slice simulations of BC deposition from the industry and energy sectors at the study lakes, and (d) modelled time slice simulations of all anthropogenic BC deposition at the study lakes. The model results for 1850 to 1900 are linear interpolations. The SCP deposition results are also linear interpolations between dated observations. Note that the -axes are not the same in all panels.
