Optical properties and molecular compositions of water-soluble and water-insoluble brown carbon (BrC) aerosols in northwest China

<p>Brown carbon (BrC) contributes significantly to aerosol light absorption and thus can affect the Earth's radiation balance and atmospheric photochemical processes. In this study, we examined the light absorption properties and molecular compositions of water-soluble (WS-BrC) and water-...
