             abstract = "Black carbon (BC) is known to be a potential sink of carbon for 
                         the global carbon cycle, particularly if long-term ocean stores 
                         are reached. Fluvial transport to the oceans can occur through the 
                         dissolution of BC in river water. Evidence from the Paraiba do Sul 
                         river basin, Brazil suggests that river DBC concentration is 
                         related to charcoal formed during the deforestation of the 
                         Brazilian Atlantic Forest. However, we highlight several key 
                         potential sources of BC to the basin that are yet to be 
                         considered. We hypothesize that external biomass fires are a 
                         source of BC to the basin on the basis that BC released from them 
                         can be transported over large distances before being deposited. 
                         This hypothesis is tested by quantifying the number of biomass 
                         fires intercepted by trajectories en route to the basin using the 
                         HYSPLIT model and a MODIS burned area dataset. We then create a 
                         Black Carbon Fallout Index (BCFI) which is rationalized by our 
                         assumption that atmospheric BC delivery to the basin is 
                         proportional to the number of interceptions of air masses en route 
                         to the basin. Our results suggest that the BC fallout from air 
                         masses reaching the basin in the dry season can explain 50% of the 
                         variance in DBC measured in the PSR channel during a subsequent 
                         collection campaign (p<.001). Spatial and temporal variations in 
                         the supply of BC to the basin throughout the dry season may in 
                         part be linked to the fires associated with the cultivation of 
                         sugarcane in southeast Brazil.",
