TY - T1 - Source Apportionment of Brown Carbon Absorption by Coupling Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy with Aerosol Mass Spectrometry SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/310516 T3 - A1 - Moschos, Vaios; Kumar, Nivedita K.; Dällenbach, Kaspar; Baltensperger, Urs; Prevot, Andre S. H.; El Haddad, Imad A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - The impact of brown carbon (BrC) on climate has been widely acknowledged but remains uncertain, because either its contribution to absorption is being ignored in most climate models or the associated mixed emission sources and atmospheric lifetime are not accounted for. In this work, we propose positive matrix factorization as a framework to apportion the contributions of individual primary and secondary organic aerosol (OA) source components of BrC absorption, by combining long-term aerosol mas...
