<M. D. Petters> coauthored a single-parameter description of aerosol hygroscopic growth and cloud-condensation activity with <S. M. Kreidenweis>. The hygroscopicity parameter summarizes how dissolved material changes a droplet's water activity.

Combining that parameter with dry particle diameter estimates the critical <supersaturation> for activation. The construction connects chemical composition with droplet formation through a measurable, compact model.<A single parameter representation of hygroscopic growth and cloud condensation nucleus activity by M.
