A single parameter representation of hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nucleus activity – Part 2: Including solubility
The ability of a particle to serve as a cloud condensation nucleus in the atmosphere is determined by its size, hygroscopicity and its solubility in water. Usually size and hygroscopicity alone are sufficient to predict CCN activity. Single parameter representations for hygroscopicity have been show...
