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+ …

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 …

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 evolution of organic aerosol (OA) and brown carbon (BrC) in wildfire plumes, including
the relative contributions of primary versus secondary sources, has been uncertain in part …

Light-absorbing components of atmospheric organic aerosols, which are collectively termed
“brown carbon”(BrC), are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. They affect absorption of solar …

To better understand the effects of wildfires on air quality and climate, it is important to
assess the occurrence of chromophoric compounds in smoke and characterize their optical …

Abstract Nitro-aromatic compounds (NACs), as important contributors to the light absorption
by brown carbon, have been widely observed in various ambient atmospheres; however …

Sub-Saharan Africa is a hotspot for biomass burning (BB)-derived carbonaceous aerosols,
including light-absorbing organic (brown) carbon (BrC). However, the chemically complex …

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 …

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 …
