Modeling the global radiative effect of brown carbon: a potentially larger heating source in the tropical free troposphere than black carbon
<p>Carbonaceous aerosols significantly affect global radiative forcing and climate through absorption and the scattering of sunlight. Black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) are light-absorbing carbonaceous aerosols. The direct radiative effect (DRE) of BrC is uncertain. A recent study sugges...
