A Comprehensive Report on Nineteen Condensation Nuclei. Part 2

Abstract

The document contains tabulations of the growth times of condensation nuclei under various assumed supersaturations. The growth time of each nucleus at a given supersaturation is obtained from a newly developed growth rate equation which utilizes a single parameter to denote the hygroscopicity of the nucleus and which includes an additional term to reflect the inefficiency of the condensation process. This volume and its predecessor serve as a valuable reference for the experimental cloud physicist in his study of the growth behaviors of condensation nuclei and for the field cloud physicist in his selection of the proper artificial nuclei for warm fog or cloud modification.
