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: Smax : float
Environmental maximum supersaturation.
T : float
Environmental temperature.
rs : array of floats
Wet radii of aerosol/droplet population.
aerosol :
AerosolSpecies
The characterization of the dry aerosol.
approx : boolean
Approximate Kohler theory rather than include detailed calculation (default False)
Returns: eq, kn: floats
Activated fractions
alpha : float
N_kn / N_eq
phi : float
N_unact / N_kn
