Correction to “Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons”

Abstract

Tursumbayeva, M., G. Ciarelli, L. Di Antonio, M. Bettineschi, D. Kissebayev, and N. Baimatova. 2026. “ Modelling the Black Carbon Variability and Dynamics in Almaty, Kazakhstan, During Winter and Summer Seasons.” Meteorological Applications 33, no. 3: e70183. https://doi.org/10.1002/met.70183.

In the originally published article, the sequence of Figures 2-4 was incorrect. The corrected version is shown below.

Additionally, the in-text citations for Figures 3 and 4 were corrected in the following sentences:

Fifth paragraph, third sentence in 3.2.1 | Meteorological Conditions

At night (from 22 to 08), it reproduced the prevailing southerly winds, while during the daytime (11–19) the direction reversed to northerly winds (Figures 2 and 3).

Second paragraph in 3.2.2 | Vertical Profiles

Since comparison of PBLH derived from the model and observations was difficult (Figures S14 and S15) due to the coarser resolution of the radiosonde profiles in winter, it was decided to compare the observed potential temperature values directly with the model to minimize uncertainties (Figure 4).

Third paragraph, first sentence in 3.2.2 | Vertical Profiles

Figure 4 shows the diurnal and seasonal patterns in potential temperature in January and July 2023.

Fourth paragraph, first sentence in 3.2.2 | Vertical Profiles

In January, the profiles at 06 LT show a stratified atmosphere and the presence of a temperature inversion, while at 18 LT the temperature inversion is weaker (Figure 4).

The online version of this article has been corrected accordingly.

We apologize for these errors.
