英文摘要	India is currently the second-largest emitter of black carbon (BC) in the world, with emissions projected to rise steadily in the coming decades. In view of the large variations associated with BC emission inventories in this region, model outputs of BC mass and radiative forcing (RF) need to be validated against long-term regionally-representative atmospheric measurements. Such measurements are highly scattered spatially as well as temporally in India, and a systematic evaluation of BC data is non-existent so far. To address this issue, we present here a comprehensive review of BC measurements in India from a survey of >140 studies spanning 2002–2018. In addition to summarizing baseline BC levels in urban, semi-urban, rural and remote locations, we report impacts of anomalous environmental and/or emission conditions, e.g., truck/general strikes, firework events, fog/haze episodes, large-scale biomass burning events, etc. We also present a discussion on major BC sources and climate impacts (in terms of direct RF) in major land-use categories, mitigation strategies currently employed on a national scale, and recent advances in measuring brown carbon (BrC) in India. We identify key areas for improvement, such as – i) the need for long-term BC monitoring networks, especially in regions where estimated emissions are high but measurement coverage is low; ii) the general lack of understanding, despite some recent reports, of BC aerosol mixing states, aging and direct climate effects in the Indian context; iii) the need to shift from qualitative approaches of BC source apportionment to robust quantitative measures; and iv) the prospects for coupled chemical-optical characterization of BrC for a better understanding of its sources and climate effects. We list potential research directions for the scientific community to address these knowledge gaps. We also believe that this review will be beneficial to policymakers for prioritizing BC mitigation efforts. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
