Why Black Carbon in Northern Eurasia?
Develop a Mitigation Policy for BC Emissions
Global
• the 2nd most important species for climate forcing
• Short lifetime: ~ a week
• Sources: industry 64% , biomass burning 36%
Northern Eurasia
• Reducing surface albedo
• Absorbing solar radiation that leads to accelerated ice melting in the Arctic
• Sources: biomass burning and industries (?)
• Deposition efficiency: % (?) of emitted BC deposited on the Arctic
Objectives
• Develop high spatial (500 m x 500 m) and temporal
(daily) distribution of black carbon emissions from
fires in Northern Eurasia from 2002 to 2013
• Identify the major sources of fires in different
ecosystems: forest, grassland, shrubland, savanna,
and agriculture
• Analyze seasonal and inter-annual variability of
sources, transport, and deposition of black carbon
from fires in Northern Eurasia to Arctic ice
Computation
E = A × FL × α × EF
E: amount of emitted black carbon at any spatial and
temporal scales
A: area burned
FL: fuel loading, or the amount of fuel to be burned
α: combustion completeness, or % of biomass burned
EF: emission factor of black carbon

Black Carbon Emissions in Northern Eurasia by Land Cover:
2002 to 2013
Comparisons of BC Emissions from FEI-NE, GFED4,
GFED3
FEI-NE is about 3.5 times higher than GFED4
Forest: FEI-NE > 2.5 GFED4
Non-forest: FEI-NE 3.2 Tg vs. GFED4 0.5 Tg
Transport & Deposition
• Biomass burning source in Northern
Eurasia: this study
• Anthropogenic and biomass
burning sources for other regions:
MACCity
• 3-D Global Chemistry-Aerosol-
Climate Model: LMDz-OR-INCA
Comparisons of
modeled atmospheric
BC concentrations with
BC measurements at
monitoring stations in
the Arctic during the
period of 2002 ˗ 2013
Conclusions
• BC emissions from fires over Northern Eurasia varied enormously
• An average of 0.82±0.50 Tg from 2002 to 2013 (n=12)
• Account for ~11% of the global BC sources, or 30% of the total
biomass burning source
Deposition
• ~31% of the emitted BC from biomass burning in Northern Eurasia
was deposited in the Arctic
• Account for 40 -73% of the BC deposited from all possible sources
• BC deposition on the Arctic estimated by FEI-NE was 28% higher
than GFED3 estimates
Sources
• 68% of BC emissions occurred from fires in forests, followed by
grassland (15%)
• 83% of BC emissions from forest fires occurred in Russia
• Central and Western Asia is the major region for BC emissions
from grassland fires (53%), followed by Russia (35%)
• Peak years of emissions: 2003, 2008, 2012
• The majority of BC emissions from fires occurred in March –
May
• Overall, Russia contributed 83% of the total BC emissions from
fires in Northern Eurasia
