Journal ArticleDOI
Aerosol light absorption and its measurement: A review
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jimenez +31 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of high resolution OA spectra was performed at the T0 urban supersite in Mexico City with a High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) and complementary instrumentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brown carbon in tar balls from smoldering biomass combustion
Rajan K. Chakrabarty,Hans Moosmüller,Lung-Wen Antony Chen,K. Lewis,W. P. Arnott,Claudio Mazzoleni,Claudio Mazzoleni,Manvendra K. Dubey,Cyle Wold,W. M. Hao,Sonia M. Kreidenweis +10 more
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".
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong spectral variation of biomass smoke light absorption and single scattering albedo observed with a novel dual-wavelength photoacoustic instrument
TL;DR: A dual-wavelength photoacoustic instrument operating at 405 and 870 nm was used during the 2006 Fire Lab at Missoula Experiment to measure light scattering and absorption by smoke from the combustion of a variety of biomass fuels as discussed by the authors.
