On the Growth of Aerosol Particles with Relative Humidity.

Previous work on the growth with relative humidity of sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate particles and of naturally occurring aerosols is reviewed. New measurements of aerosol particle growth with humidity obtained during a research cruise of the USNS Hayes to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean...

Description
Summary:Previous work on the growth with relative humidity of sodium chloride and ammonium sulfate particles and of naturally occurring aerosols is reviewed. New measurements of aerosol particle growth with humidity obtained during a research cruise of the USNS Hayes to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea in May 1977 are presented. A model which describes the observed variation in aerosol growth behavior from one air mass to another is developed. (Author)
