Abstract
We present a study of the growth of ternary solution (nitric acid, sul furic acid and water) droplets in the stratosphere. The growth mechani sm is heteromolecular condensation in which the particle is assumed to be in equilibrium with environmental water vapor. Model results are i n reasonable agreement with the averaged extinction ratio obtained by the SAM II satellite system.
