Brown carbon aerosol in the North American continental troposphere: sources, abundance, and radiative forcing
Chemical components of organic aerosol (OA) selectively absorb light at short wavelengths. In this study, the prevalence, sources, and optical importance of this so-called brown carbon (BrC) aerosol component are investigated throughout the North American continental tropospheric column during a sum...
