• W4383313148 abstract "<strong class=journal-contentHeaderColor>Abstract.</strong> Light-absorbing organic species present in aerosols, collectively called brown carbon (BrC), contribute important but highly uncertain effects on climate. Clouds likely represent a significant medium for secondary BrC production and for bleaching reactions, though the relative importance of formation and loss processes in clouds is unknown at present. The acidity (or pH) of atmospheric particles and clouds affects the optical properties of BrC and bleaching rates. Given the wide variability of pH in the atmosphere (pH in particles and clouds ranges from -1 to 8), the optical properties of BrC and its bleaching behavior are expected to vary significantly, and the link between pH and BrC is yet another uncertainty in attempts to constrain its climate forcing effects. In this work, we characterize the pH-dependence of BrC optical properties – including light absorption at 365 nm (Abs₃₆₅), mass absorption coefficient (MAC₃₆₅), and the absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) – in bulk cloud water sampled from the summit of Whiteface Mountain, NY. In all samples (<em>n</em> = 17), Abs₃₆₅ and MAC₃₆₅ increased linearly with increasing pH, highlighting the importance of reporting pH in studies of BrC in aqueous media. There was strong variability in the sensitivity of Abs₃₆₅ to pH, with normalized slopes that ranged from 5.1 % to 17.2 % per pH unit. The normalized slope decreased strongly with increasing cloud water [K⁺], suggesting that the non-biomass burning BrC has optical properties that are more sensitive to pH than BrC associated with biomass burning. AAE also showed a distinct pH-dependence, as it was relatively flat between pH 1.5 – 5, then decreased significantly above pH 5. The cloud water composition was used to inform thermodynamic predictions of aerosol pH upwind/downwind of Whiteface Mountain and the subsequent changes in BrC optical properties. Overall, these results show that, in addition to secondary BrC production, photobleaching, and the altitudinal distribution, the climate forcing of BrC is quite strongly affected by its pH-dependent absorption." @default.
