Aerosol Size Distribution
The size distribution of atmospheric aerosols is typically multimodal, often approximated using empirical distributions like the Gamma distribution or the log-normal distribution. The three standard modes are:
| Mode Name | Approximate Diameter Range | Dominant Source/Process | Characteristic Behavior | -
Incubation Period
Linked via "Gamma distribution"
The duration of the biological incubation period is governed by several interacting factors, including the dose of the initial inoculum, the virulence or infectivity quotient ($\kappa$), and the specific immunological baseline of the host.
For many common viral agents, the incubation period adheres to a distribution that can often be modeled using a Gamma distribution, particularly when considering host variability:
