Growth of atmospheric clusters involving cluster–cluster collisions: comparison of different growth rate methods

We simulated the time evolution of atmospheric cluster concentrations in a one-component system where not only do clusters grow by condensation of monomers, but cluster–cluster collisions also significantly contribute to the growth of the clusters. Our aim was to investigate the consistency of...
