Geofisica pura e applicata Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The size and charge distribution of nuclei obtained by passing air over ammonia and nitric acid are examined. In agreement with McHenry it was found that the average radius is less than 1.0×10−6 cm. The heterogeneity of the nuclei is discussed.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die Grösse und Ladungsverteilung von Kernen, welche erhalten wurden, wenn Luft über Lösungen von Ammoniak und Salpetersäure streicht, untersucht. In Übereinstimmung mit McHenry wurde gefunden, dass der durchschnittliche Radius der Kerne kleiner als 1.0×10−6 cm ist. Es wird die Ungleichartigkeit der Kerne diskutiert.
