The hygroscopic growth factors in GET_ALK (seasalt_mod.f) are incorrect.

The following:

        ! hygroscopic growth factor for sea-salt from Chin et al. (2002)
        IF ( IRH < 100 ) HGF = 2.2d0
        IF ( IRH < 99  ) HGF = 1.9d0
        IF ( IRH < 95  ) HGF = 1.8d0
        IF ( IRH < 90  ) HGF = 1.6d0
        IF ( IRH < 80  ) HGF = 1.5d0
        IF ( IRH < 70  ) HGF = 1.4d0
        IF ( IRH < 50  ) HGF = 1.0d0

should be replaced with:

        ! hygroscopic growth factor for sea-salt from Chin et al. (2002)
        IF ( IRH < 100 ) HGF = 4.8d0
        IF ( IRH < 99  ) HGF = 2.9d0
        IF ( IRH < 95  ) HGF = 2.4d0
        IF ( IRH < 90  ) HGF = 2.0d0
        IF ( IRH < 80  ) HGF = 1.8d0
        IF ( IRH < 70  ) HGF = 1.6d0
        IF ( IRH < 50  ) HGF = 1.0d0
