The optical properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosols are needed to model the
direct radiative forcing of the climate system, as well as for interpreting and assimilating …

Linear particle depolarization ratio is presented for three case studies from the NASA
Langley airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar-2 (HSRL-2). Particle depolarization ratio …

In many applications, nanoparticles appear to be in an aggregated form. Thus, a complete
description of their morphology involves an analysis of their size at different scales, from the …

There is a strong interest in accurately modelling the radiative properties of soot aggregates
(also known as black carbon particles) emitted from combustion systems and fires to gain …

This paper provides a thorough modeling-based overview of the scattering and radiative
properties of a wide variety of morphologically complex carbonaceous aerosols. Using the …

Long-term and high spatial resolution aerosol optical depth (AOD) data are essential for
climate change detection and attribution. Global ground-based AOD observations are …

The effects of weakly absorbing material coating on soot have attracted considerable
research attention in recent years due to the significant influence of such coating on soot …

Abstract The Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation for fractal aggregates (RDG-FA) is
commonly used to evaluate the radiative properties of soot aerosols composed of nano …

The in situ optical characterization of smokes composed of soot particles relies on light
extinction, angular static light scattering (SLS), or laser induced incandescence (LII). These …

The impact of morphology on the radiative properties of fractal soot aggregates was
investigated using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The optical properties of four …
