Short summary

This study examines the parameterized model of Stuart et al. (2013) vis-a-vis a diffusion based model proposed by Anand and Mayya (2011) to estimate the fraction of aerosol particles surviving coagulation in a dispersing plume. Results show that the two models agree with each other within a difference of 10%, and suggest either of the two models might be suitable for incorporation into global-/regional-scale air pollution models.
