Abstract

The paper presents results of an investigation of photophoretic interaction between spherical aerosol particles depending on the atmospheric altitude and particle size. The photophoretic interaction is shown to decrease the coagulation constant of submicron particles strongly absorbing solar radiation in the daytime by orders of magnitude as compared to the constant in darkness.
