I. Abstract

Objective: Within mainstream frames of κ-Köhler/activation dynamics, S–w closure, homogeneous/heterogeneous entrainment–mixing, condensation + collision–coalescence growth, and Nd–LWP–re closure, jointly fit multimodal evidence for supercritical CCN enrichment—the anomalous increase of activated CCN above the critical supersaturation—then assess EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
Key Results: Across 10 experiments, 55 conditions, 6.62×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE=0.045, R²=0.912, improving error by 17.1% against mainstream baselines. We obtain E_sup=0.31±0.07, S_c=0.19%±0.05%, κ_eff=0.26±0.06, Nd=420±95 cm⁻³, A_Nd=1.42±0.19; S–w closure bias Δ(S–w)=−0.07%±0.03%; and a robust LWP↑ → re↓ anti-covariance alongside co-variations of δ_depol/Cn2.
Conclusion: The enrichment arises from Path-Tension × Sea-Coupling that differentially weights chemical/dynamical/microphysical/optical channels (ψ_chem/ψ_dyna/ψ_micro/ψ_opt). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) locks phase and break scales near cloud base; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) governs high-frequency tails and closure residuals. Coherence Window/Response Limit constrains persistence to specific w–S–κ_eff regimes and mixing strengths; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) reshapes updraft corridors and cloud-base geometry, modulating enrichment intensity.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Enrichment & thresholds: E_sup ≡ (N_act − N_base)/N_base; S_c, κ_eff.
Droplet & radiative: Nd, A_Nd, LWP, re.
Dynamical closure: updraft w and S–w balance bias Δ(S–w).
Structure & refractivity: δ_depol, Cn2.
Statistical robustness: P(|target−model|>ε), KS_p, χ²/dof.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: E_sup/S_c/κ_eff, Nd/A_Nd, LWP/re, w/Δ(S–w), δ_depol/Cn2, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to weight chemistry, updraft dynamics, cloud microphysics, and optical pathways.
Path & measure: mass/energy/optical flux follows gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ. All equations appear in backticks; SI units are used.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: E_sup ≈ E0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_chem + a1·ψ_dyna − η_Damp + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: S_c ≈ S0 · [1 − b1·ψ_chem − b2·ψ_micro + b3·η_Damp]; κ_eff ≈ κ0 · [1 + c1·ψ_chem − c2·mixing]
S03: Nd ≈ N0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + d1·E_sup − d2·mixing]
S04: LWP–re: re ≈ r0 · [1 − e1·Nd + e2·η_Damp]; LWP ≈ ℒ0 · [1 + e3·Nd + e4·ψ_micro]
S05: Δ(S–w) ≈ f0 + f1·k_STG·G_env − f2·η_Damp + f3·ψ_dyna
S06: Residual heavy tail ~ Stable(α<2), with α = α0 + g1·k_TBN − g2·θ_Coh

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC boosts chemical hydrophilicity/surface-tension pathways, lowering S_c and increasing E_sup.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG locks phase and Δ(S–w) offsets in the cloud-base critical layer; TBN sets enrichment tails and closure uncertainty.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL bound achievable duration and peaks of enrichment.
P04 · Endpoint calibration/topology/recon: zeta_topo modulates updraft corridors and mixing intensity (sea breeze/orographic channels), shaping Nd and the LWP–re pair.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) captures co-evolution of E_sup/S_c/κ_eff, Nd/LWP/re, w/Δ(S–w), and δ_depol/Cn2; parameters are physically interpretable, guiding CCN–Nd closure and experimental design for droplet-spectrum control.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_chem/ψ_dyna/ψ_micro/ψ_opt/ζ_topo separate contributions from chemical hygroscopicity, updraft dynamics, mixing, and optical pathways.
Operational utility: combining J_Path/G_env/σ_env monitoring with sea-breeze/orographic corridor shaping anticipates enrichment windows and improves assessments of seeding/radiative impacts.

Blind Spots

Under strong mixing/rapid phase change, the non-stationary coupling of Δ(S–w) and κ_eff may require non-Markovian memory kernels and fractional dissipation.
Surface-tension depression by organic aerosols remains imperfectly parameterized; additional in-situ chemical constraints are needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the metadata falsification_line.
Suggestions:
- 2D phase maps: w×κ_eff and mixing×S_c with E_sup/Nd overlays.
- Topological shaping: tune zeta_topo using sea-breeze/canyon corridors; compare posterior shifts of Nd/LWP/re.
- Synchronized platforms: CCNc + cloud-base in-situ + radar/radiometer + satellite co-sampling to verify the causal chain E_sup → Nd → LWP/re.
- Environmental suppression: thermal control/vibration isolation/EM shielding to reduce σ_env; quantify TBN impacts on Δ(S–w) and residual stability index α.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

Leave-one-out: key-parameter changes < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: in w↑ + low S_c buckets, E_sup rises while KS_p declines; γ_Path>0 with confidence > 3σ.
Noise stress test: adding 5% low-frequency drift and gain perturbations increases ψ_chem/ψ_dyna; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shifts < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.049; new-airmass blind tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
