Shown are time-averaged injection rate I, number density of haze droplets , number density of cloud droplets , mean cloud droplet diameter , and SD of cloud droplet diameter . All of the experiments had a layer of liquid water approximately 1 cm in height at the chamber’s bottom boundary and a mean temperature of 20 ± 0:5 °C. Temperature difference between the bottom and top plate, : cases 1 to 5, 18 °C; 6 K FW, 6 °C; and 7 K SW, 7 °C. Abbreviations: Exp. ID, experiment identification number; FW, fresh water; SW, salt water. (See Experimental Observations and SI Appendix for details.)
