Optical and Chemical Analysis of Absorption Enhancement by Mixed Carbonaceous Aerosols in the 2019 Woodbury, AZ, Fire Plume
Abstract
Wildfires emit mixtures of light-absorbing aerosols (including black and brown carbon, BC and BrC, respectively) and more purely scattering organic aerosol (OA). BC, BrC, and OA interactions are complex and dynamic and evolve with aging in the atmosphere resulting in large uncertainties in their radiative forcing. We report microphysical, optical, and chemical measurements of multiple plumes from the Woodbury Fire (AZ, USA) observed at Los Alamos, NM, after 11–18 hr of atmospheric transit. This includes periods where the plumes exhibited little entrainment as well as periods that had become more dilute after mixing with background aerosol. Aerosol mass absorption cross sections (MAC) were enhanced by a factor of 1.5–2.2 greater than bare BC at 870 nm, suggesting lensing by nonabsorbing coatings following a core-shell morphology. Larger MAC enhancement factors of 1.9–5.1 at 450 nm are greater than core-shell morphology can explain and are attributed to BrC. MAC of OA (MACOrg) at 450 nm was largest in intact portions of the plumes (peak value bounded between 0.6 and 0.9 m2/g [Org]) and decreased with plume dilution. We report a strong correlation between MACOrg(450 nm) with the fC2H4O2 (a tracer for levoglucosan-like species) of coatings and of bulk OA indicating that BrC in the Woodbury Fire was coemittedmore »
