Abstract
Growth Rate Measurements Were Made for Water Drops Grown on Nuclei in Atmospheric Air Samples Taken in Rolla, Missouri. Rolla, Having a Population of 15,000 and Very Little Industry, is Relatively Free of Urban Pollutants. the Measurements Were Made in a Vertical Flow Thermal Diffusion Chamber at Supersaturations of 0. 5 and 1%. the Time to Grow from Near Dry Radius to the Final Radius (6 to 7. 5 Mu M) Was Measured. If One Assumes the Thermal Accomodation Coefficient is Unity, the Measurements Indicate an Average Value of 0. 026 for the Condensation Coefficient. the Temperature Ranged from 22. 5 to 25. 7 Degree C.
