The Earth's atmosphere is composed of an enormous variety of chemical species associated
with trace gases and aerosol particles whose composition and chemistry have critical …

Abstract The NOAA/NASA Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air
Quality (FIREX‐AQ) experiment was a multi‐agency, inter‐disciplinary research effort to:(a) …

Biomass burning emits large numbers of organic aerosol particles, a subset of which are
called tarballs (TBs). TBs possess a spherical morphology and unique physical, chemical …

The size and frequency of wildfires in the western United States have been increasing and
this trend is projected to continue, with increasing adverse consequences for human health …

Organic aerosol (OA) emissions from wildfires across the western United States have
significant impacts on the climate and air quality. Brown carbon (BrC)—the light-absorbing …

Smoke particles generated by burning biomass consist mainly of organic aerosol termed
biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA). BBOA influences the climate by scattering and …

Wildfires emit large amounts of black carbon and light-absorbing organic carbon, known as
brown carbon, into the atmosphere. These particles perturb Earth's radiation budget through …

Understanding the evolution of brown carbon (BrC) in the atmosphere is essential for
investigating its climate effects. This study deployed a novel in‐situ BrC continuous …

Carbonaceous aerosols (CAs), including elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC),
have become the dominant component in PM2. 5 in many Chinese cities, and it is imperative …

Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) have been extensively utilized to examine the formation of
secondary organic aerosol (SOA). However, the UV lamps typically employed to initiate the …
