1. PARticle Growth And Nucleation (PARGAN) model: An inverse modeling procedure to investigate empirical aerosol population dynamics, determining the rates of – particle nucleation, particle growth (i.e. vapor concentration), wall loss (not included for atmospheric studies) directly from measurements (i.e. independent of classical nucleation theory.

The PRAGAN model web interface (Verheggen, 2004) is also available at http://iacweb.ethz.ch/php/pargan/softwares.php?site=input

3. Inversion model to calculate nucleation zone for Laboratory data: A simple inversion model of condensational growth in the flow reactor is developed by Young et al., (2008), to determine where nucleation likely occurs in the flow tube. The inputs to the model are the aerosol size distribution and the concentration of H2SO4 vapor as a function of the axial position in the reactor, by assuming that all particle growth occurs by condensation of H2SO4 and water in the kinetic condensation regime.

4. Ion indicued nucleation (IIN) parameterization codes : IIN parameterization codes are based on a steady state version of the kinetic aerosol model of Sulphuric Acid and Water Nucleation (SAWNUC) (Lovejoy et al., 2004), that uses experimentally measured thermodynamics for the ion clusters.
