Preferred Label : particle size distribution;
Detailed label : particle size distribution in atmospheric chemistry;
IUPAC definition : The size of the liquid or solid particles in the atmosphere usually extends from
0.01 to 100 µm in diameter. In the earth's atmosphere the distribution function
which describes the number of particles as a function of diameter, mass or surface
area of the aerosol can be determined reasonably well with modern instrumentation.;
