MAAP photometers were distinguished from other filter-based absorption photometers due to their difference in working principle. Highlighted countries correspond to studies wherein data were compiled from multiple locations into a single value for the MAC or aircraft-based campaigns covering a broader region. Background color scale shows the BC column mass concentration between 2022 and 2024 from a data assimilation model194.
