Figure 4: Relative contributions of the combustion of three fuel classes to Third Pole snowpit sample black carbon.

From: Sources of black carbon to the Himalayan–Tibetan Plateau glaciers

Figure 4

Green, black and brown bars represent biomass, liquid fossil fuels and coal combustion, respectively. The source signatures of the 14C- and 13C of these three fuels are presented as mean±s.d. values in Supplementary Table 7. Black and brown arrows denote the transport of BC from East Asia, black and green arrows indicate the transport of BC from South Asia, and green arrows represent BC emissions from local/domestic activities in the TP.
