Deposition of brown carbon onto snow: changes in snow optical and radiative properties

Light-absorbing organic carbon aerosol – colloquially known as brown carbon (BrC) – is emitted from combustion processes and has a brownish or yellowish visual appearance, caused by enhanced light absorption at shorter visible and ultraviolet wavelengths (0.3 µm≲λ≲0.5 µm). Recently, optical properti...
