Refractive Index and Absorption Attribution of Highly Absorbing Brown Carbon Aerosols from an Urban Indian City-Kanpur
Atmospheric aerosols influence Earth's radiative balance, having both warming and cooling effects. Though many aerosols reflect radiation, carbonaceous aerosols such as black carbon and certain organic carbon species known as brown carbon have the potential to warm the atmosphere by absorbing light. Black carbon absorbs light over the entire solar spectrum whereas brown carbon absorbs near-UV w...

We used a spectral radiative transfer model to compute the direct radiative effect (DRE) of natural plus anthropogenic aerosols in the solar near-infrared (IR), between 0.85–10μm, namely, their effect on the outgoing nearIR radiation at the top of atmosphere (TOA, 1FTOA), on the atmospheric absorption of near-IR radiation (1Fatmab) and on the surface downward and absorbed near-IR radiation (1Fs...

متن کاملBlack carbon or brown carbon? The nature of light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols
Although the definition and measurement techniques for atmospheric “black carbon” (“BC”) or “elemental carbon” (“EC”) have long been subjects of scientific controversy, the recent discovery of light-absorbing carbon that is not black (“brown carbon, Cbrown”) makes it imperative to reassess and redefine the components that make up lightabsorbing carbonaceous matter (LAC) in the atmosphere. Evide...
