Short summary
Remote sensing of brown carbon is very important for climate research, and current optical methods rely mainly on spectral properties for inversion. However, the influence of the microscopic properties of black carbon has rarely been considered by previous studies. This paper shows how the remote sensing of brown carbon is affected by the microphysical properties of black carbon and highlights the adaptability of remote sensing methods.
