TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Mie theory for spherical particles and with more complicated numerical methods for other particle shapes to calculate aerosol light absorption in the atmosphere, which contributes to solar radiative forcing through absorption of solar radiation and heating of the absorbing aerosol layer.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that thermal/ optical reflectance (TOR) corrections yield equivalent OC/ EC splits for widely divergent temperature protocols, and results determined by simultaneous thermal/optical transmittance (TOT) corrections are 30% lower than TOR for the same temperature protocol and 70-80% lower for a protocol with higher heating temperatures and shorter residence times.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-based calibration scheme for the 7-wavelength aethalometer was developed to evaluate the filter loading effect caused by aerosol light absorption, and the model is tested against ambient measurements and is found to require coefficients that are situation specific.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the direct observation of laboratory production of spherical, carbonaceous particles from smoldering combustion of two commonly occurring dry mid-latitude fuels, called "tar balls".

TL;DR: In this paper, a photoacoustic spectrometer was developed to measure in situ light absorption by aerosol, which is the measured quantity is the sound pressure produced in an acoustic resonator caused by light absorption.
