Atmospheric Aerosols
Linked via "supersaturation ratio ($S$)"
In warmer, maritime, or polluted boundary layers, water vapor condenses onto soluble aerosols (e.g., sea salt/), sulfates) via the Köhler process to form liquid cloud droplets.
The supersaturation ratio ($S$)/) required for activation is highly dependent on the particle's critical radius ($r_c$) and the soluble fraction. Aerosols that are highly hygroscopic or large activate at lower supersaturations. A higher concentration of [CCN](/entries/c…
