In real atmospheric conditions, aerosol particles often undergo hygroscopic growth, absorbing water from the air and increasing in size. This water uptake significantly affects the optical properties of aerosols, influencing their scattering and absorption behaviors and, consequently, their impact on climate and visibility.\n",
