Synergistic effect in absorption properties of brown carbon and elemental carbon over IGP during weak south-west monsoon

Abstract: Recent ground-based measurements reveal that model-based observations are underestimating absorption properties and direct radiative forcing (DRF) due to carbonaceous species by a factor of 2-3 over South and East Asia. Thus, to better constraint these parameters associated with carbonaceous species, seasonal variability records through ground-based measurements are very essential. In this context, we report herein the absorption properties of water-extractable brown carbon (BrC), elemental carbon (EC), and Br… Show more

“…The absorption of this methanol-soluble OC (considered as BrC absorption) was estimated by 140 using a UV-visible spectrophotometer (LAMBDA 35, PerkinElmer) with a working range of 300 nm to 900 nm and a spectral resolution of 1 nm. The equation shown below was used to estimate the absorption at any given wavelength (Chakrabarty et al, 2023;Sarkar et al, 2019;Satish and Rastogi, 2019;Sarin, 2013, 2014;Bikkina et al, 2020;Boreddy et al, 2021;Choudhary et al, 2017Choudhary et al, , 2018Choudhary et al, , 2021Choudhary et al, , 2022Dasari et al, 2019;Dey et al, 2021;Kirillova 145 et al, 2016;Mukherjee et al, 2020;Rajeev et al, 2022;Rastogi et al, 2021;Rathod et al, 2017;Rana et al, 2020;Shamjad et al, 2016bShamjad et al, , 2018. In equation 1, 𝐴 𝜆 is absorbance at wavelength λ, 𝑉 𝐸𝑥𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡 is the volume of solvent extract used 150 (4.5 ml in this study), 𝑉 𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑑 is the volume of air sampled, 𝑓 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎 is the fraction of filter area used for the analysis, and 𝐿 is the optical path length (0.01 m).…”

“…In contrast, the climate implications of light-absorbing organic carbon (OC), termed brown carbon (BrC), have 45 received relatively less attention and are thus less certain (Saleh et al, 2018;Brown et al, 2018;Saleh, 2020). The chemical composition of BrC varies significantly, and consequently its optical properties, as reported across previous studies, span orders of magnitude in the imaginary refractive index (k) values that determine its light absorbing strength (Chakrabarty et al, 2023;Choudhary et al, 2021Choudhary et al, , 2018Choudhary et al, , 2017Dey et al, 2021;Kapoor et al, 2023a;50 Kirillova et al, 2016;Rana et al, 2020;Rathod et al, 2017;Saleh et al, 2018Saleh et al, , 2014Srinivas and Sarin, 2014). Previous studies often measured aged ambient BrC that are weakly absorbing (kBrC,550 <0.01) due to photobleaching (Sumlin et al, 2017), hence some climate impact assessment studies have considered BrC as a weakly or non-absorbing particle (Lee et al, 2010;Sand et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…A common way to obtain that information is by accounting for the contributions of the other species based on their own known physicochemical properties. For example, sampled aerosols can be heated to a certain temperature (e.g., 250 °C), so that BC light absorption can be obtained as organic species are vaporized. Similarly, aerosols on filters can be extracted using various solvents (e.g., deionized water or methanol), and then, the optical properties of the solutions can be measured to estimate the light absorption of BrC. These approaches usually focus on only one light-absorbing material, that is either BC or BrC, because they are designed to eliminate the effects of all other substances.…”
