Absorption Ångström coefficient, brown carbon, and aerosols: basic concepts, bulk matter, and spherical particles

The concept of wavelength-dependent absorption Ångström coefficients (AACs) is discussed and clarified for both single and two-wavelengths AACs and guidance for their implementation with noisy absorption spectra is provided. This discussion is followed by application of the concept to models for bro...
