From: The role of biomass burning states in light absorption enhancement of carbonaceous aerosols

Figure 2

The mass absorption cross sections (MAC) of BC-containing aerosols at 532 nm predicted by the aggregate model is dependent on the modified combustion efficiency (MCE) of biomass burning, which indicates different combustion states. The MAC values of varied MCE are assembled with interval of 0.02 for each box, and the uncertainty is come from particle size, morphology, and mixing states of BC aerosols. Generally, flaming-dominated combustion corresponds to larger MCE (> 0.95) values, and smouldering-dominated combustion are corresponds to smaller MCE (< 0.9) values.
