PartMC  2.2.1
Input File Format: Aerosol Material Data

A aerosol material data file must consist of one line per aerosol species, with each line having:

This specifies both which species are to be recognized as aerosol consituents, as well as their physical properties. For example, an aerosol material data file could contain:

 # species  dens (kg/m^3)   ions (1)    molec wght (kg/mole)   kappa (1)
 SO4        1800            0           96e-3                  0.65
 NO3        1800            0           62e-3                  0.65
 Cl         2200            1           35.5e-3                0
 NH4        1800            0           18e-3                  0.65
 

Note that it is an error to specify a non-zero number of ions and a non-zero kappa value for a species. If both values are zero then that species has zero hygroscopicity parameter. If exactly one of kappa or ions is non-zero then the non-zero value is used and the zero value is ignored.
