Short summary

Wet removal of atmospheric black carbon particles was quantitatively characterized in terms of accumulated precipitation along a backward trajectory (APT) using long-term observations at Fukue Island, western Japan, receiving Asian continental outflow with variable degrees of influence from precipitation. The emission inventory of BC over East Asia was assessed in terms of the observed BC/CO ratios. Model simulations should be diagnosed with these improved knowledge on the emission and removal.
