Short summary
Single-particle soot photometer (SP2) measures the mixing state (Dp/Dc) of coated black carbon (BC) using core-shell Mie theory and coating refractive index is set to 1.50+0i. The retrieved Dp/Dc contains error due to the non-sphericity of BC and coatings with various refractive indices. We reveal the remarkable effects of coatings on the Dp/Dc retrieval accuracy of SP2 based on optical simulation of fractal BC aerosols, and further evaluate the simple radiative forcing efficiency of coated BC.
