Scientific paper

An expression for a globally averaged value of direct radiative forcing by absorbing aerosols is derived and applied to the case of smokes produced by biomass burning. It is shown that the direct radiative forcing due to the biomass burning aerosols is a sensitive function of the size distribution of aerosol particles. For the range of measured size distributions of smoke aerosols the direct radiative forcing varies between -0.2 and -1.1 W/sq m.
