The study of Liu et al. (2012) is cited for it description of the new modal aerosol model introduced in the global climate model CAM5 (Liu et al., 2012), which
simulates aerosol size distributions, the mixing of aerosol components, aerosol properties and their complex interaction with cloud processes in a more realistic manner.
Differences in growth rates have been attributed to differences in spatial variations of the
initial aerosol sizes, in solubilities, and in magnitudes of supersaturation.
