Parameterization of cloud droplet formation for global and regional models: including adsorption activation from insoluble CCN

Dust and black carbon aerosol have long been known to exert potentially important and diverse impacts on cloud droplet formation. Most studies to date focus on the soluble fraction of these particles, and overlook interactions of the insoluble fraction with water vapor (even if known to be hydrophil...
