The publication of this article (Moteki 2023) unfortunately contain mistakes.

In section 2.2 and 3.3, “Ohata et al. 2018” is cited in the text but not listed in the reference section. The following reference is added:

Ohata S, Yoshida A, Moteki N, Adachi K, Takahashi Y, Kurisu M, Koike M (2018) Abundance of light-absorbing anthropogenic iron oxide aerosols in the urban atmosphere and their emission sources. J Geophys Res Atmos 123(15):8115–8134. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JD028363

In section 3.3, “Matsui et al. 2018” is cited in the text but not listed in the reference section. The following reference is added:

In Sect. 3.4,

“Liu et al. (2020a, b)” should read as “Liu et al. (2020b)”

In Sect. 3.4,

“a plausible (m_r, m_i) domain that contains the BC refractive index at 633 nm wavelength: 1.7 ≤ m_r ≤ 2.2 and 0.51 + 0.014m_r^5.2 ≤ m_i ≤ min(1.5, 2.5m_r − 3.5).” should read as

“a plausible (m_r, m_i) domain that contains the BC refractive index at 633 nm wavelength:

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}l} {0.51 + 0.014m_{{\text{r}}}^{5.2} \le m_{{\text{i}}} \le 2.5m_{{\text{r}}} - 3.5} \hfill & {{\text{if}}\quad 1.7 \le m_{{\text{r}}} \le 1.8} \hfill \\ {0.51 + 0.014m_{{\text{r}}}^{5.2} \le m_{{\text{i}}} \le 1.5} \hfill & {{\text{if}}\quad 1.8 < m_{{\text{r}}} \le 2.2} \hfill \\ \end{array} } \right..''$$
