pyrcel.thermo.critical_curve¶
- pyrcel.thermo.critical_curve(T, r_a, r_b, kappa, approx=False)¶
Calculates curves of critical radii and supersaturations for aerosol.
Calls
kohler_crit()
for values ofr_dry
betweenr_a
andr_b
to calculate how the critical supersaturation changes with the dry radius for a particle of specifiedkappa
- Parameters:
- Tfloat
ambient air temperature, K
- r_a, r_bfloats
left/right bounds of parcel dry radii, m
- kappafloat
particle hygroscopicity parameter
- Returns:
- rs, rcrits, scritsnp.ndarrays
arrays containing particle dry radii (between
r_a
andr_b
) and their corresponding criticall wet radii and supersaturations
