Model calculations are presented which indicate that newly created particles in the marine atmosphere will commonly only be able to achieve sizes, by means of gas-phase processes, sufficient to activate in cumuliform clouds. Aqueous sulfate production in such clouds will be generally necessary to grow them large enough to activate in marine stratus clouds.
