Light absorbtion properties of Brown Carbon in the South Asian outflow in winter 2016

Sanjeev Dasari, Örjan Gustafsson, August Andersson

This dataset provides the mass-absorption cross section at 365 nm and the corresponding absorption Ångström exponent, stable carbon isotope signature of water-soluble organic carbon for aerosol samples collected at urban city Delhi, Bangladesh Climate observatory at Bhola Island (BCOB) in the outflow region of the Indo-Gangetic plain and Maldives Climate Observatory at Hanimaadhoo Island (MCOH) in the Indian Ocean.
