Figure 3: WIOC/BC ratios for snowpit and aerosol samples from the Third Pole and Europe.
From: Sources of black carbon to the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau glaciers
The error bars represent 1 s.d. of the WIOC/BC ratios for each station. The sample numbers from QY, DM, YL, ZD, TG, LH, Dung, NM, EU, ER and EG were 9, 7, 6, 5, 8, 3, 9, 8, 7, 12 and 5, respectively. QY, DM, YL, ZD, TG and LH indicate the following glaciers: Qiangyong, Demula, Yulong, Zhadang, Xiaodongkemadi and Laohugou No. 12, respectively. Dung and NM refer to aerosol samples of yak dung combustion and outdoor air from Namco, respectively. EU, ER and EG refer to particles drawn from urban areas25, remote areas47 and glacial areas across Europe26, respectively.
