Light-absorbing organic carbon from prescribed and laboratory biomass burning and gasoline vehicle emissions

Abstract Light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), also termed brown carbon (BrC), from laboratory-based biomass burning (BB) has been studied intensively to understand the contribution of BB to radiative forcing. However, relatively few measurements have been conducted on field-based BB and even fewer m...
