Abstract Interactions between clouds and black carbon (BC) represent a significant uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. To investigate the influence of cloud processing on the scavenging of BC, concurrent measurement of individual cloud droplet residue particles (cloud RES) and interstitial particles (cloud INT) throughout a cloud event was deployed at Mt. Tianjing (1690 m a.s.l.) in southern China. An aethalometer (AE-33), a single particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SPAMS) and a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) were used to investigate the mass concentration of equivalent BC (EBC), size-resolved number of BC-containing particles, and size-resolved number concentration of submicron particles in real-time, respectively. The number-based SEs of the submicron particles varied between 2.7 and 31.1%. Mass scavenging efficiency (MSE) ranged from 4.7% to 52.6% for EBC, consistent with the number-based SE (from 11.3% to 59.6%) of the BC-containing particles throughout the cloud event. Several factors that may influence the SEs of the BC-containing particles are considered and examined. SEs are most likely determined by a single factor, i.e., liquid water content (LWC), with R2 > 0.8 in a power function throughout the cloud event. Stage-resolved investigation of SEs further reveals that particle size matters more than other factors in the cloud formation stage, whereas there is an increasing role of the mixing state in the development and stability stage. We also observed lower SEs for the BC-containing particles internally mixed organics, consistent with previous literature.
