Ascav: Droplet scavenging of interstitial aerosol |
𝛼 | 𝛼 is the attachment rate for interstitial aerosols, calculated external to the aqueous chemistry module according to Binkowski and Roselle (2003) | |
Wdep: Wet deposition |
where WTAVG = total liquid water content, CTHK = cloud thickness, PRATE = precipitation rate |

Raq: Chemical kinetics |
krxn | Complex rate coefficients are set according to the CMAQ base mechanism (Sarwar et al., 2013; Carlton et al., 2010). While most droplet species are assumed to be well-mixed, a correction factor may be applied to account for aqueous diffusion limitations (Table S3). This correction factor, Qi, relates surface and bulk droplet concentrations. krxn,effective = krxnQi |
MW is the molecular weight; Dg,i is the gas-phase diffusion coefficient (m2 s−1); 𝛼i is the accommodation coefficient; qi is the diffuso-reactive parameter; Daq,i is the aqueous-phase diffusion coefficient (m2 s−1); ki is the effective first-order reaction rate of species i; r is the droplet radius (m).
