. We report the direct observation of laboratory production of spherical, carbonaceous particles – “tar balls” – from smoldering combustion of two commonly occurring dry mid-latitude fuels. Real-time measurements of spectrally varying absorption ˚Angstr ¨ om coefficients (AAC) indicate that a class of light absorbing organic carbon (OC) with wavelength dependent imaginary part of its refractive index – optically defined as “brown carbon” – is an important component of tar balls. The spectrum of the imaginary parts of their complex refractive indices can be described with a Lorentzian-like model with an effective resonance wavelength in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region. Sensitivity calculations for containing (no absorption at and UV and total inclusion of the properties of tar into forcing models optical of UV in the
