An inverse modeling procedure to determine particle growth and nucleation rates from measured aerosol size distributions

Classical nucleation theory is unable to explain the ubiquity of nucleation events observed in the atmosphere. This shows a need for an empirical determination of the nucleation rate. Here we present a novel inverse modeling procedure to determine particle nucleation and growth rates based on consec...
