abstract = {In situ measurements have been made in the upper
troposphere of the properties of particles containing light
absorbing carbon ( LAC). These measurements, made in late
November 2006 over northern Europe, show that the average
LAC mass concentration varies between 1 and 5 ng m(-3) over
a latitude range 50 degrees to 70 degrees N, with maxima at
50 degrees and 66 degrees. The relative fraction of all
particles larger than 0.1 mu m that contain LAC decreases at
higher latitudes. The derived extinction coefficient, which
also increases with latitude, reaches a maximum of 1.4
Mm(-1) at 66 degrees.The air mass histories associated with
the LAC were evaluated with back trajectory analysis using
wind field analysis from the European Center for Median-
Range Weather Forecast ( ECMWF). A positive correlation
exists between the fraction of particles containing LAC and
the maximum relative humidity ( RH), minimum temperature and
maximum number of hours of cloud experienced by the air mass
in the 5-10 days prior to being sampled by the aircraft. Air
masses arriving from lower altitudes and with trajectories
over North America also had larger concentration fractions
of LAC.The average LAC mass is in good agreement with
previous measurements made over North America for the same
latitude range, and the span of values fits best with model
predictions of LAC distributions that assume that the LAC
transported from surface sources is hydrophobic.},
