In fact, a subsequent study conducted by Liu et al. (2015) and published in Nature Communications, contrasts the CARES measurements with those obtained from the 2012 Clean Air for London (ClearfLo) campaign to show that aerosol coatings influence black carbon absorption and the form and structural details of the mixing state may be specific to the source and region where the mixing occurs.

The brownish color of the cloud (which is visible when looking at the horizon) is due to absorption of solar radiation at short wavelengths (green, blue, and UV) by organic and black carbon aerosols as well as by NOx.

To solve this problem, they use either aerosols or heat absorption by the oceans as a fudge factor to bring their theory more in line with reality.

While it is true that aerosols can warm and cool the climate (by absorption and reflection of solar radiation, respectively, besides influencing cloud properties), most evidence suggests that globally, cooling is dominant.

I do need to check whether all of the 78 W / m ^ 2 is said to be absorbed in the absorption wavelengths of GHGs or whether some of this is component is absorbed in the absorption wavelenghts of other gases and / or by atmospheric aerosols.

Updates in Trenberth et al. (2009) included revised absorption in the atmosphere by water vapor and aerosols, since Kim and Ramanathan (2008) found that updated spectroscopic parameters and continuum absorption for water vapor increased the absorption by 4 — 6 W m − 2.

Theoretically, coatings of essentially non-absorbing components such as organic carbon or sulphate on strongly absorbing core components such as black carbon can increase the absorption of the composite aerosol (e.g., Fuller et al., 1999; Jacobson, 2001a; Stier et al., 2006a), with results backed up by laboratory studies (e.g., Schnaiter et al., 2003).
