Quantifying aerosol mixing state with entropy and diversity measures
This paper presents the first quantitative metric for aerosol population mixing state, defined as the distribution of per-particle chemical species composition. This new metric, the mixing state index χ, is an affine ratio of the average per-particle species diversity <i>D</i><sub>...
