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+ …

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 …

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 …

How tiny aqueous aerosol droplets significantly accelerate the atmospheric multiphase
reaction remains an open question. Here, we show both experimental and theoretical …

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 …

Samples of brown carbon (BrC) material were collected from smoke emissions originating
from wood pyrolysis experiments, serving as a proxy for BrC representative of biomass …

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 …

Abstract The Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) includes three main
atmospheric configurations: the Community Atmosphere Model version 6 (CAM6) with …

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