The Influence of Cloud Condensation Nucleus Coagulation on the Venus Cloud Structure

We present the Venus version of PlanetCARMA and demonstrate the significance of coagulation properties on the structure of the Venus cloud system. The composition of the smallest mode of particles in the Venus atmosphere, which likely serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), is unknown. Here we dem...
