Nonlinear Enhancement of Radiative Absorption by Black Carbon in Response to Particle Mixing Structure

Yuanyuan Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the absorption enhancement of black carbon particles and finds that the diverse mixing structures in individual particles lead to variable absorption enhancement that could hardly be predicted by empirical approximations. The volume proportion of BC embedded in coating determines the absorption enhancement when the particle to BC core diameter ratio is larger than 2.0.

Biomass burning aerosols in most climate models are too absorbing

Hunter Brown et al.

Summary: The study finds that current climate models overestimate the absorptivity of biomass burning aerosols, leading to inaccurate estimates of their direct radiative effects. By modifying the refractive index, size, and mixing state of the aerosols, the models can better match observations and improve accuracy in predicting aerosol effects on solar radiation.

Method to quantify black carbon aerosol light absorption enhancement with a mixing state index

Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study developed a new index to quantify the mixing state of ambient black carbon aerosols, demonstrating that the light absorption enhancement of BC is related to this index. This framework can be used in modeling to study the radiative effects of black carbon on climate change.

Modeled source apportionment of black carbon particles coated with a light-scattering shell

Aki Virkkula

Summary: The Aethalometer model is widely used for estimating contributions of fossil fuel emissions and biomass burning to equivalent black carbon absorption, with uncertainties in interpretation due to particle size, internal structure, and other factors. Evaluating the uncertainties in apparent fractions of absorption by eBC from fossil fuel and biomass burning revealed the significant impact of size distribution on absorption.
