Abstract
Two models for the asymptotic size distribution of atmospheric aerosols are examined. One of these models assumes condensation to be the dominant growth process for atmospheric aerosol particles greater than approximately 0.1 μ. The model yields various characteristic distributions which resemble Rosin-Rammler distributions. In the second model, the theory of stable distributions is used to show that a power law or Paretian asymptotic size distribution is preserved during subsequent alterations such as condensation and coagulation provided the elements undergoing these processes are themselves independently and identically distributed in the domain of attraction of certain positive stable laws.
