An ice-water saturation adjustmentA reasonably accurate and noniterative saturation adjustment scheme is proposed to calculate: (1) the amount of condensation and/or deposition necessary to remove any supersaturated vapor, or (2) the amount of evaporation and/or sublimation necessary to remove any subsaturation in the presence of cloud droplets and/or cloud ice. This proposed scheme can be implemented for a nonhydrostatic cloud model. The derivation of the scheme, an evaluation of its performance, and tests for sensitivity to variations in a few key parameters are presented.
