By analysing aerosol absorption across nine sites in India, researchers calculated that brown carbon contributes 21% to 68% of absorption in the near-UV range, highlighting its critical role in ...

The following topics are investigated using the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM): Implementation of absorbing organic aerosol (i.e., brown carbon) to model biomass and biofuel emissions.

Taking bold action to make the reduction of black-carbon aerosol levels an international priority may be a rapid way forward on the pressing issues of climate change and health.
