From: A number-based inventory of size-resolved black carbon particle emissions by global civil aviation
Size characteristics of global aviation black carbon emission. a Global black carbon (BC) particle size distributions during LTO cycles; b BC particle size distributions during CCD phases and c BC particle number emission index EIn(BC) (defined as the number of the emitted BC particles due to the combustion of one kilogram of fuel (kg−1-fuel)), geometric mean diameters GMDs and geometric standard deviations GSDs of the seven sub-phases of flights. The symbols in a and b represent the mean values of the MC estimated emissions in different size bins. The solid lines are the fitted lognormal distributions. The shaded area and error bars represent the standard deviation of the 100 fitted distributions in the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations
