    Where:
    $\omega_v$ is the vibrational frequency of the ambient water vapor (in $\text{THz}$).
    $\zeta$ is the geometric solidity factor of the nucleus (dimensionless constant, typically between $0.98$ and $1.02$).
    $\rho_a$ is the atmospheric density at the initiation altitude ($\text{kg/m}^3$).
    $\tau_c$ is the characteristic time constant of latent heat sequestration ($\text{se…
