Key Points Aerosol absorption is sensitive to mixing state, brown carbon, and soil dust optical properties Blanching reduces coating brown carbon radiative effect; soil dust radiative effect uncertainty due to the refractive index is large Radiative effect of radiation‐absorbing aerosol total uncertainty is mainly due to dust refractive index and brown carbon treatment
