Representation of nucleation mode microphysics in a global aerosol model with sectional microphysics

In models, nucleation mode (1 nm < <i>D</i><sub>p</sub> < 10 nm) particle microphysics can be represented explicitly with aerosol microphysical processes or can be parameterized to obtain the growth and survival of nuclei to the model's lower size boundary. This st...
