abstract = "Biomass burning from wildfires is one of the largest sources of
absorbing and organic aerosol on the planet. It has a significant
influence on cloud properties and makes a substantial contribution
to the radiation balance of the atmosphere on continental scales.
Such perturbations have an effect on regional weather and climate
and can influence net growth of the biosphere. Despite the
importance of these effects across continental regions such as
Amazonia, there are considerable gaps in our knowledge that limit
accurate prediction. These result from: inaccurate prediction of
optical properties from the physical and chemical properties of
biomass burning aerosol; uncertainty over the controls on the
aerosol distribution throughout the atmosphere resulting from
emissions and dispersion of large plumes; the inability of
regional and global models to represent the measured atmospheric
burden across major regions of burning without significant
moderation of emissions; recent changes in burning practices that
significantly alter the optical properties and spatial extent of
biomass burning aerosol; shortcomings in model representations of
absorbing aerosol that limit our understanding of
aerosolcloud-precipitation feedbacks; and the complexity of
capturing the net response of the biosphere to the competing
stimuli of reduced radiation, increased fraction of scattered
light, and increased ozone resulting from biomass burning. During
2012 a major experimental study to investigate biomass burning
across the southern margins of Amazonia took place. We present
the major results from this joint Brazil-UK programme, which
involved a large research aircraft the UK Atmospheric Research
Aircraft (FAAM) and a number of ground-based measurement sites,
and utilised a range of regional and climate models. We
demonstrate how this study has been able to address or constrain
the process uncertainties discussed above, advance methods to
capture feedbacks and quantify their magnitude, and summarise the
remaining outstanding research questions.",
