Deriving brown carbon from multiwavelength absorption measurements: method and application to AERONET and Aethalometer observations

The radiative impact of organic aerosols (OA) is a large source of uncertainty in estimating the global direct radiative effect (DRE) of aerosols. This radiative impact includes not only light scattering but also light absorption from a subclass of OA referred to as brown carbon (BrC). However, the...
