Growth of upper tropospheric aerosols due to uptake of HNO<sub>3</sub>
The effect of nitric acid on the equilibrium size distributions of upper tropospheric aerosols is calculated as a function of relative humidity. It is shown that HNO<sub>3</sub> concentrations above a few tenths of a ppb can cause substantial increases in haze mode particle concentration...
