Fresh and atmospherically aged biomass-burning (BB) aerosol mass is mostly comprised of
strongly light-absorbing black carbon (BC) and of organic carbon (OC) with its light …

Scientific understanding of the processes involving carbonaceous aerosols in atmosphere is
extremely important for both the climate and human health. This explains the increasing …

Black carbon (BC) aerosol, the strongest absorber of visible solar radiation in the
atmosphere, contributes to a large uncertainty in direct radiative forcing estimates. A primary …

Physics-based models typically require an in-depth understanding of a phenomenon and
assumptions of the underlying process (es), which are often hard to obtain in practice …

Wildfires and agricultural burning generate seemingly increasing smoke aerosol emissions,
impacting societal and natural ecosystems. To understand smoke's effects on climate and …

A novel method has been proposed and demonstrated for measuring the aerosol Ångström
exponent at a specific wavelength based on differential absorption. The lidar system …

The mass-absorption cross-section of black carbon (MACBC) is an essential parameter to
link the atmospheric concentration of black carbon (BC) with its radiative forcing. When a …

In order to reduce uncertainties in estimation of aerosol radiative forcing, multi-parameter
field observational studies are crucial. In this study, alterations of single scattering albedo …

Mass absorption cross-section of black carbon (MACBC) describes the absorptive cross-
section per unit mass of black carbon, and is, thus, an essential parameter to estimate the …

Carbonaceous aerosols emitted from biomass burning influence radiative forcing and
climate change. Of particular interest are emissions from high-latitude peat burning because …
