Description:Black carbon is the largest contributor to global aerosol ’s shortwave absorption in the cur- rent atmosphere and is an important positive climate forcer. The complex refractive index, m¼mrþimi, the primary determinant of the absorbed and scattered energies of incident radiation per unit volume of particulate material, has not been accurately known for atmos-pheric black carbon material. An accurate value at visible wavelengths has been difficult to obtain due to the black carbon ’s wavelength-scale irregularity and variability of aggregate shape, distribution in particle size, and mixing with other aerosol compounds. Here, we pre-sent a method to constrain a plausible ( m
