Exploiting simultaneous observational constraints on mass and absorption to estimate the global direct radiative forcing of black carbon and brown carbon
Atmospheric black carbon (BC) is a leading climate warming agent, yet uncertainties on the
global direct radiative forcing (DRF) remain large. Here we expand a global model …
