The Streaker sampler has previously been described in detail and used in a number of studies (Annegarn, Cahill et al. 1988; Annegarn, Flanz et al. 1996; Filippi, Prati et al. 1999; D'Alessandro, Lucarelli et al. 2004; Ancelet, Davy et al. 2011; Ancelet, Davy et al. 2012) Data/sample analysis detail (inc. references if needed): Ion Beam analysis, Black carbon (light reflectance) (Trompetter, Markwitz et al. 2005; Ancelet, Davy et al. 2011; Barry, Trompetter et al. 2012) Calibration: The IBA was performed using a 3MeV accelerator proton beam with standards (SrF2, NaCl, Cr, Ni, SiO, KCl, Al) run before and after each analytical cycle.
