Metrics to quantify the importance of mixing state for CCN activity

It is commonly assumed that models are more prone to errors in predicted cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations when the aerosol populations are externally mixed. In this work we investigate this assumption by using the mixing state index (<i>χ</i>) proposed by Riemer and West...
