A New Parameterization of Droplet Nucleation

Penner, J.E. and Chen, Y., University of Michigan
Twelfth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

Several parameterizations for the formation of droplets on aerosol particles with specified size and aerosol composition are now available. However, the current parameterizations do not account for the full range of aerosol species, nor do they account for the influence of nitric acid vapor on formation of drops. Here, we present a new parameterization that extends previous work to include these effects.
