pyrcel.thermo.critical_curve(T, r_a, r_b, kappa, approx=False)¶

Calculates curves of critical radii and supersaturations for aerosol.

Calls kohler_crit() for values of r_dry between r_a and r_b to calculate how the critical supersaturation changes with the dry radius for a particle of specified kappa

Parameters:	T : float ambient air temperature, K r_a, r_b : floats left/right bounds of parcel dry radii, m kappa : float particle hygroscopicity parameter
Returns:	rs, rcrits, scrits : np.ndarrays arrays containing particle dry radii (between `r_a` and `r_b`) and their corresponding criticall wet radii and supersaturations
