Question

The plot below shows the result of a simulation in which a parcel containing CCN was lifted adiabatically into the lower atmosphere. The colored lines represent different dry mass ratios of dissolved solute in the water droplets and the red dashed line is water saturation.  The parcel never cools below 0∘C.   

What is the minimum dry mass ratio of solute required to produce a cloud droplet under the conditions represented in the simulation?

a. 10^-9

b. 10^-17

c. 10^-15
