Black carbon lofts wildfire smoke high into the stratosphere to form a persistent plume
In 2017, western Canadian wildfires injected smoke into the stratosphere that was
detectable by satellites for more than 8 months. The smoke plume rose from 12 to 23 …

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 …

Exploring the observational constraints on the simulation of brown carbon
Organic aerosols (OA) that strongly absorb solar radiation in the near-UV are referred to as
brown carbon (BrC). The sources, evolution, and optical properties of BrC remain highly …
