A method to dynamically constrain black carbon aerosol sources with online monitored potassium

Abstract The result of Aethalometer model to black carbon (BC) source apportionment is highly determined by the absorption Ångström exponent (α) of aerosols from fossil fuel combustion (α ff) and wood burning (α wb). A method using hourly measured potassium to calculate the α ff and α wb values was...
