Atmospheric soot and organic particles from fossil fuel combustion and biomass burning
modify Earth's climate through their interactions with solar radiation and through …

Biomass is considered a renewable and cleaner energy source alternative to fossil fuels. In
recent years, industrial biomass boilers have been rapidly developed and widely used in the …

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 …

The Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiative (SNICAR) model has been used in various capacities
over the last 15 years to model the spectral albedo of snow with light-absorbing constituents …

The formation of secondary brown carbon (BrC) is chemically complex, leading to an
unclear relationship between its molecular composition and optical properties. Here, we …

Urbanization is an ongoing global phenomenon as more and more people are moving from
rural to urban areas for better employment opportunities and a higher standard of living …

Black carbon (BC) absorbs solar radiation, leading to a strong but uncertain warming effect
on climate. A key challenge in modeling and quantifying BC's radiative effect on climate is …

Providing reliable observations of aerosol particles' absorption properties at spatial and
temporal resolutions suited to climate models is of utter importance to better understand the …

Black carbon (BC) not only warms the atmosphere but also affects human health. The
nationwide lockdown due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic led to a …

Black carbon (BC) strongly absorbs solar radiation, contributing to global warming.
Absorption enhancement of BC particles is difficult to quantify due to an inadequate …
