摘要

Black carbon(BC)is formed from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels(e.g.coal and diesel oil),biofuel and biomass(like wild?res).As the most strongly light-absorbing component of atmospheric aerosols,BC could heat the atmosphere ef?ciently(i.e.the direct radiative forcing).Atmospheric BC also interacts with clouds to change cloud cover,lifetime,and brightness.Recently,the impact of BC on the cryosphere received increasing attention,because it could result in the signi?cant glacier/snow cover melt through both
