Atmospheric particulate matter plays an important role in the Earth's radiative balance. Over
the past two decades, it has been established that a portion of particulate matter, black …

Light-absorbing organic aerosols, optically defined as brown carbon (BrC), have been
shown to strongly absorb short visible solar wavelengths and significantly impact Earth's …

Little is known about the optical significance of light absorbing particulate organic
compounds (ie, brown carbon, BrC), including the importance relative to black carbon (BC) …

Carbonaceous aerosols affect the global radiative balance by absorbing and scattering
radiation, which leads to warming or cooling of the atmosphere, respectively. Black carbon is …

Brown carbon (BrC) exhibits highly variable light-absorption properties, with the imaginary
part of the refractive indices (k) varying over several orders of magnitude. This poorly …

Brown carbon (BrC) is an organic aerosol material that preferentially absorbs light of shorter
wavelengths. Global‐scale radiative impacts of BrC have been difficult to assess due to the …

Light-absorbing organic aerosol (brown carbon, BrC) impacts the radiative balance of the
earth's atmosphere; however, the magnitude of this impact is poorly constrained due to …

Atmospheric aerosols influence Earth's radiative balance, having both warming and cooling
effects. Though many aerosols reflect radiation, carbonaceous aerosols such as black …

Light-absorbing organic material, or “brown carbon”(BrC), can significantly influence the
effect that aerosols have on climate. Here, we investigate how changing pH affects the …

Carbonaceous aerosols affect the radiative balance of the Earth by absorbing and scattering
light. While black carbon (BC) is highly absorbing, some organic carbon (OC) also has …
