R0 denotes the initial droplet radius. τsed (RH = 1) is the sedimentation time from a height of 2 m without evaporation. τev (RH = 0.5) is the evaporation time at a relative humidity of RH = 0.5 in the absence of nonvolatile solutes in the droplet. τsedRH (RH = 0.5) is the sedimentation time in the absence of nonvolatile solutes at a relative humidity of RH = 0.5 from a height of 2 m. τsed (RH = 0.5) is the sedimentation time from a height of 2 m at a relative humidity of RH = 0.5 in the presence of an initial volume fraction Φ0 = 0.01 of nonvolatile solutes in the droplet.
