Abstract

Key Points: Ruosteenoja et al.'s (2017) claim that supersaturation in the surface atmosphere is unrealistic and necessarily spurious and incorrect. Supersaturations are a reality that an increasing number of atmospheric models can reproduce even in the surface atmosphere. Modelers should not arti...

Supersaturations are a reality that an increasing number of atmospheric models can reproduce even in the surface atmosphere. Modelers should not artificially cap relative humidity at 100% when feeding climate model archives. Show less
