Reformulating atmospheric aerosol thermodynamics and hygroscopic growth into fog, haze and clouds

Modeling atmospheric aerosol and cloud microphysics is rather complex, even if chemical and thermodynamical equilibrium is assumed. We show, however, that the thermodynamics can be considerably simplified by reformulating equilibrium to consistently include water, and transform laboratory-based conc...
