英文摘要	Atmospheric brown carbon (BrC) makes a substantial contribution to aerosol light absorption and thus global radiative forcing. Although BrC may change the lifetime of the clouds and ultimately affect precipitation, little is known regarding the optical properties and formation of BrC in the clouds. In the present study, the light-absorption properties of cloud droplet residual (cloud RES) were measured by coupled a ground-based counterflow virtual impactor (GCVI) and an aethalometer (AE-33), in addition to the cloud interstitial (cloud INT) and ambient (cloud-free) particles by PM2.5 inlet-AE-33 at Mt. Tianjing (1690 m a.s.l.), a remote mountain site in southern China, from November to December 2020. Meanwhile, the light-absorption and fluorescence properties of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in the collected cloud water and PM2.5 samples were also obtained, associated with the concentration of water-soluble ions. The mean light-absorption coefficient (Abs(370)) of the cloud RES, cloud INT, and cloud-free particles were 0.25 +/- 0.15, 1.16 +/- 1.14, and 1.47 +/- 1.23 Mm(-1), respectively. The Abs(365) of WSOC was 0.11 +/- 0.08 Mm(-1) in cloud water and 0.40 +/- 0.31 Mm(-1) in PM2.5, and the corresponding mass absorption efficiency (MAE(365)) was 0.17 +/- 0.07 and 0.31 +/- 0.21 m(2) g(-1), respectively. A comparison of the light-absorption coefficient between BrC in cloud RES and cloud INT particles, and WSOC in cloud water and PM2.5 indicates a considerable contribution (48 %-75 %) of water-insoluble BrC to total BrC light absorption. Secondary BrC estimated by minimum R squared (MRS) method dominated the total BrC in cloud RES (67 %-85 %), rather than in the cloud-free (11 %-16 %) and cloud INT (9 %-23 %) particles. It may indicate the formation of secondary BrC during cloud processing. Supporting evidence includes the enhanced WSOC and dominant contribution of the secondary formation and biomass burning factor (>80 %) to Abs(365) in cloud water provided by positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis. In addition, we showed that the light absorption of BrC in cloud water was closely related to humic-like substances and tyrosine-like and/or proteinlike substances (r >0.63, p <0.01), whereas only humic-like substances for PM2.5, as identified by excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy.
