a Global spatial distribution of annual mean anthropogenic BC emission from 2006 to 2011. b Regional variation of monthly anthropogenic BC emission. c Monthly variation of regional mean aerosol absorption optical depth (AAOD) at 550 nm due to anthropogenic BC emission. d Monthly variation of regional BC direct radiative forcing (DRF) due to anthropogenic BC emission. The regional mean (±1 standard deviation) and the detected linear trends with significance are also present in the upper left.
