pyrcel.activation.binned_activation¶
- pyrcel.activation.binned_activation(Smax, T, rs, aerosol, approx=False)¶
Compute the activation statistics of a given aerosol, its transient size distribution, and updraft characteristics. Following Nenes et al, 2001 also compute the kinetic limitation statistics for the aerosol.
- Parameters:
- Smaxfloat
Environmental maximum supersaturation.
- Tfloat
Environmental temperature.
- rsarray of floats
Wet radii of aerosol/droplet population.
- aerosol
AerosolSpecies The characterization of the dry aerosol.
- approxboolean
Approximate Kohler theory rather than include detailed calculation (default False)
- Returns:
- eq, kn: floats
Activated fractions
- alphafloat
N_kn / N_eq
- phifloat
N_unact / N_kn
