MODEL & BOUNDARIES

Know what the result means.

CSV values are wet-diameter bin centers in µm and integrated number concentration per bin in cm⁻³—not a density per unit diameter. Qext = 2 is an approximation. Bin depletion can reflect growth or evaporation as well as collection; unmeasured tails remain missing.

Version 1.0 · SI quantities are used internally, with displayed input units converted explicitly. Retain your assumptions with any exported result.

References support the physical relationships or measurement context. They do not validate any proposed weatherhill hardware.
