Effects of internal mixing and aggregate morphology on optical properties of black carbon using a discrete dipole approximation model (2012, background): “The BC from this flame has a morphology and MAC (8.5 m 2 g −1 at 550 nm) consistent with freshly generated soot particles (Moosmuller et al., 2009; Bond and Bergstrom, 2006).”
Size-resolved measurements of brown carbon in water and methanol extracts and estimates of their contribution to ambient fine-particle light absorption (2013, background): “Black carbon (BC), largely comprised of elemental carbon (EC), is the strongest of the light-absorbing aerosol components (Bond, 2001; Moosmuller et al., 2009, and references therein).”
Cloud condensation nucleation activity of biomass burning aerosol (2009, background): “Rapid agglomeration occurs in the flame and upon exiting the flame zone of the fire, producing larger chain aggregates [Moosmüller et al., 2009].”
Dependence of Laser-Induced Incandescence on Physical Properties of Black Carbon Aerosols: Measurements and Theoretical Interpretation (2010, background): “…soot photometer (SP2) measures timedependent scattering and incandescence signals from individual aerosol particles passing though a continuous-wave, intra-cavity Nd:YAG laser beam operating at 1064 nm (Stephens et al. 2003; Schwarz et al. 2006; Moteki and Kondo 2007; Moosmüller et al. 2009).”
Laboratory studies on optical properties of secondary organic aerosols generated during the photooxidation of toluene and the ozonolysis of α -pinene: OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SOAS (2010, background): “absorption coefficient (babs) of BC is usually inversely proportional to the wavelength (l) and has an absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE) of about 1 [e.g., Bond and Bergstrom, 2006; Moosmuller et al., 2009 ].”
Absorption Ångström coefficient, brown carbon, and aerosols: basic concepts, bulk matter, and spherical particles (2010, background): “11) is much smaller than one and the imaginary part of the refractive index is independent of wavelength, resulting in a straight line with a constant slope of−1 and an AAC of one, independent of wavelength (Bohren and Huffman, 1998; Moosmüller and Arnott, 2009; Moosm̈uller et al., 2009).”
Aircraft Instrument for Comprehensive Characterization of Aerosol Optical Properties, Part 2: Black and Brown Carbon Absorption and Absorption Enhancement Measured with Photo Acoustic Spectroscopy (2012, background): “Given the potential climate impacts of the phenomenon outlined above, accurate in-situ measurements of the optical properties of BC and BrC are needed (Moosmuller et al. 2009).”
Shapes of soot aerosol particles and implications for their effects on climate (2010, background): “Soot particles are produced from incomplete burning of fossil fuel, biofuel, and biomass and are the dominant particle type having a warming effect on global climate [ Moosmuller et al., 2009 ].”
