Dataset of historical black carbon reconstruction from the lake sediments of the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau (1853-2015)

Black carbon is an important light absorbing substance, which has an important impact on climate change. This data set contains the data of black carbon concentration and sedimentation flux in the core of six lakes (gun Yong lake, Tanggula lake, linggecuo, Ranwu lake, gokyo, gosainkunda) on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the south slope of the Himalayas. The carbon concentration of Huxin black was determined by digestion filtration thermoluminescence method. This dataset is an excel file, which can be opened directly by using Excel. This data set is helpful to study the history of atmospheric black carbon deposition in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and its surrounding areas and to further analyze the sources of atmospheric black carbon. It can be used as the basic data for the study of atmospheric black carbon transport and climate effect assessment.

黑碳（Black Carbon）是一类重要的光吸收性物质，对气候变化具有显著影响。本数据集涵盖青藏高原及喜马拉雅山南坡6个湖泊（公益湖Gun Yong Lake、唐古拉湖Tanggula Lake、林格错Linggecuo、然乌湖Ranwu Lake、乔克约湖Gokyo、戈赛昆达湖Gosainkunda）沉积物岩芯中的黑碳浓度与沉降通量数据。湖芯黑碳浓度采用消解-过滤-热释光法（thermoluminescence method）测定。本数据集为Excel文件，可直接使用Excel软件打开。本数据集有助于研究青藏高原及其周边地区大气黑碳沉降历史，进而深入解析大气黑碳的来源；可作为大气黑碳传输研究与气候效应评估的基础数据。
