Activation Diameter

Activation Diameter is the critical particle size at which a given aerosol particle acts as a Cloud Condensation Nucleus and initiates droplet formation under specific supersaturation conditions, distinguishing it from smaller sub-activation or larger super-activation diameters within the continuum of aerosol-cloud interactions.
