accumulation state, and a cloud-processed state. This interpretation implies that aerosol sources (nucleation from the gas phase) are closely tied to aerosol sinks (cloud scavenging of aerosol particles). Processes that could modify the proposed aerosol life cycle are discussed. Number size and surface area distributions typical for the various aerosol states are examined. The dry aerosol surface area ranges from 1 to 20 mm 2 cm � 3 in the free troposphere and from 2 to 13 mm 2 cm � 3 in the tropopause region. Parameterizations of the aerosol size distributions and total surface area concentrations are provided to facilitate the use of the data in atmospheric models.
