  1. CCN predictions and and the role of organics Development of a simple model predicting Cloud Condensation Nuclei concentrations, CCN Applying the model on data from CLAIRE 2001 Hygroscopic measurements on some organics (laboratory data) Jenny Rissler, Aerosolgroup, Lund University

  2. Overview of the model Overwiew of the model H-TDMA Hygroscopic Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer e Soluble volume fraction Ni Number of soluble ions as a function of particle size Sc Critical super- saturation as function of particle size dact Activation (dry) diameter for a specific supersaturation DMPS Differential Mobility Particle Size Inverted Size distribution CCN

  3. Köhler Curve Classical Köhler theory: Critical saturation ratio

  4. Calculating epsilon The soluble volume fraction (epsilon) is calculated according to: Equation 1 The growth factor for the model salt is calculated from Tang’s salt data (molality as a function of water activity, and density as a function of mole fraction of the solution).

  5. Calculations Classical Köhler theory: Critical saturation ratio or: Where Sc is the saturation ratio and and Finding the critical super saturation through derivation gives: Where is the supersaturation Sc-1=sc or:
