- We launch the CARIBIC Aircraft Observation of Black Carbon (CARIBIC-SP2) project: The black carbon is the second most important anthropogenic climate-warming agent after carbon dioxide. Despite of its importance, the estimated climate forcing of black carbon is subject to large uncertainties. In this project, we perform black carbon measurements with a single particle soot photometer (SP2) installed in the CARIBIC container onboard of a Lufthansa passenger aircraft | 08.2014.
