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 …

Optical measurements (absorbance and fluorescence) are widely used to track dissolved
organic matter (DOM) quantity and quality in natural and engineered systems. Despite many …

Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) in the atmosphere contains many compounds that
absorb solar radiation, called brown carbon (BrC). While BBOA is in the atmosphere, BrC …

Brown carbon (BrC) has attracted widespread attention because of its strong absorption of
solar radiation in the ultraviolet-visible wavelength range, which causes adverse impacts on …

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 …

Brown carbon (BrC) aerosol is an important contributor to positive radiative forcing on Earth,
but its influence on the global radiative budget remains uncertain due to the limitations of …

The light absorption of brown carbon (BrC) constituents of biomass burning organic aerosol
(BBOA) changes in the atmosphere, in part due to multiphase oxidation. For example …

Humification is a ubiquitous natural process of biomass degradation that creates
multicomponent systems of nonliving organic matter, including dissolved organic matter …

Understanding the sources of light-absorbing organic (brown) carbon (BrC) and its
interaction with black carbon (BC) and other non-refractory particulate matter (NR-PM) …

The climate forcing of light-absorbing organic aerosol, or brown carbon (BrC), emitted from
biomass burning may be significant but is currently poorly constrained, in part due to …
