“…Paper [162] based on observational data estimates the influence of precipitation on aerosol concentration in the surface atmospheric layer as limited: a washing-out effect is only observed for particles within the size range of 0,03-0,1 µm in winter, not exceeding 30%, and 0,03-1,0 µm in summer, not exceeding 10-20% and being very short-term. Based on experimental studies, it is shown in [161] that the generation of a coronal discharge under conditions without fog is accompanied by aerosol size spectrum shifting toward larger mean particle size, while in the presence of fog, aerosol concentration was observed to decrease, which could result in complete disappearance of all aerosols, including those of a nanometer size.…”
