Emitted by numerous primary sources and formed by secondary sources, atmospheric
brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is chemically complex. As BrC aerosol ages in the atmosphere …

Brown carbon (BrC), a carbonaceous aerosol which absorbs solar radiation over a broad
range of wavelengths, is beginning to be seen as an important contributor to global …

Sources, optical properties, and chemical composition of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC)
aerosol are uncertain, making it challenging to estimate its contribution to radiative forcing …

Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) is an important contributor to the radiative forcing of climate
by organic aerosols. Because of the molecular diversity of BrC compounds and their …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Purpose of Review The direct radiative effect of brown carbon (BrC) absorption
predicated by climate-modeling studies is highly uncertain, with values ranging between+ …

A dominant source of light-absorbing aerosol particles, brown carbon (BrC), to the
atmosphere is smoke from biomass burning. Aqueous aging of biomass burning organic …

This study provides molecular insights into the light absorption properties of biomass
burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) through the chemical characterization of tar condensates …

Biomass burning is a major source of atmospheric brown carbon (BrC), and through its
absorption of UV/VIS radiation, it can play an important role in the planetary radiative …
