Fig. 3: Morphology index (MI) for accurately modeling σabs.

From: Significant contribution of fractal morphology to aerosol light absorption in polluted environments dominated by black carbon (BC)

Fig. 3

a Time series showing the values of the MI that was used for the prediction of σabs-obs. b Distribution of the MI during the entire measurement period with a median MI of 75 indicated by the dashed line. c Correlation between the MI values and the fBC. The first six days of the campaign marked in purple and the rest days of the campaign marked in bluish-green, indicated along on the X-axis of a. d shows the variation in the MI as a function of eight types of categories in the BC-size correlation spectrum.
