Analysis of feedbacks between nucleation rate, survival probability and cloud condensation nuclei formation

Aerosol nucleation is an important source of particle number in the atmosphere. However, in order to become cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), freshly nucleated particles must undergo significant condensational growth while avoiding coagulational scavenging. In an effort to quantify the contribution o...
