Atmospheric Dynamics and Size Distribution
The concentration and residency time of aerosol particles are governed by their size, as this dictates the efficiency of removal mechanisms such as gravitational settling, impaction, and coagulation.
The typical size distribution observed in mid-latitude continental air masses often follows a trimodal distribution: the Aitken mode ($\text{AM}$), the accumulation mode ($\text{AccM}$), and the [coarse mode](/e… -
