						      First global model of atmospheric brown nitrogen aerosol reveals its climate impactsAtmospheric aerosols influence Earth’s climate by absorbing and scattering solar radiation. In particular, organic aerosols (OAs) absorb solar radiation in the near-ultraviolet to visible range. However, assessing their climate effects has been challenging due to the complex composition of organic aerosols and their continuous chemical transformation in the atmosphere. 2025-02-28
