Light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols (LACs), including black carbon and light-absorbing
organic carbon (brown carbon, BrC), have an important role in the Earth system via heating …

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+ …

Short‑lived climate forcers (SLCFs) affect climate and are, in most cases, also air pollutants.
They include aerosols (sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous aerosols, mineral dust …

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 …

Light-absorbing organic carbon (ie, brown carbon or BrC) in the atmospheric aerosol has
significant contribution to light absorption and radiative forcing. However, the link between …

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

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 …

Light-absorbing organic aerosols, known as brown carbon (BrC), counteract the overall
cooling effect of aerosols on Earth's climate. The spatial and temporal dynamics of their light …

The relative contributions of eight nitrated aromatic compounds (NACs: nitrophenols and
nitrated salicylic acids) to the light absorption of aqueous particle extracts and particulate …
