The characteristics of ambient aerosol RRI in China have not yet been well studied owing to a lack of observations. For the first time, the properties of aerosol RRI were studied based on field measurements in China at four sites with different atmospheres. The results revealed that the measured ambient aerosol RRI varied significantly between 1.36 and 1.78, increasing with the mass ratio of organic components. The scattering coefficient and direct radiative effects of the aerosols were estimated to increase by factors of 2 and 3, respectively, when RRI increased from 1.36 to 1.78. Our results indicate that variation in ambient aerosol RRI should be considered in aerosol and climate models to achieve an accurate estimation of aerosol&amp;#039;s radiative impacts. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Export Date: 7 June 2021</style></notes><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">146443</style></custom7><remote-database-name><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scopus</style></remote-database-name></record></records></xml>
