Fig. 3: Diurnal variations of BC mixing state parameters.
From: Overestimation of black carbon light absorption due to mixing state heterogeneity

Diurnal cycles of the BC mixing state index χ and fresh BC number concentration (a), the average particle species diversity Dα (b), and the bulk population species diversity Dγ and the fraction of thickly coated BC particles (c) at CP site. The shading represents the interquartile range of the observation.
