Concept information
Preferred term
MABI
Definition
- Using typical aerosol filter samples, the Multi-wavelength Absorption Black carbon Instrument (MABI) measures light absorption at seven different wavelengths. As black carbon can be emitted from a range of different sources, primarily either diesel vehicles of biomass burning, particles have a range of densities and sizes. When the black carbon concentration equation is modified to include contributions relating to the size and density of the particles, a more accurate measurement is acquired. Spanning ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths, the measurements can be used to differentiate the contribution from different sources. (en)
