Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, neutral): “This approach has been extended by Nenes and Seinfeld (2003) to include kinetic effects, such that the largest aerosols do not have time to grow to their equilibrium size.”
Modeling Supersaturation and Subgrid-Scale Mixing with Two-Moment Bulk Warm Microphysics (2008, methodology): “The approach described above is tested in a Lagrangian parcel framework with constant updraft velocity similar to Twomey (1959), Clark (1974), AbdulRazzak et al. (1998), Nenes and Seinfeld (2003), and others.”
Droplet nucleation: Physically‐based parameterizations and comparative evaluation (2011, methodology): “where Spart is a partitioning supersaturation [Nenes and Seinfeld, 2003] that distinguishes between particles that grow substantially between tact and tmax, and those that do not.”
Aerosol Indirect Effects on Tropical Convection Characteristics under Conditions of Radiative-Convective Equilibrium (2011, background): “Several studies have shown, however, that vertical velocity may be as important as the concentration of aerosols when considering aerosol effects (Nenes and Seinfeld 2003), and the number of activated CCN has been observed to increase with increasing vertical velocity (Saleeby and Cotton 2004).”
Continued development of a cloud droplet formation parameterization for global climate models (2005, methodology): “The procedure for using the modal formulation is similar to the sectional aerosol formulation (Nenes and Seinfeld, 2003).”
Nucleation processes in deep convection simulated by a cloud-system-resolving model with double-moment bulk microphysics (2007, background): “Indeed, parameterizations for droplet nucleation based on multiple aerosol species have recently been formulated by Ming et al. (2006) and Nenes and Seinfeld (2003) .”
Natural aerosol direct and indirect radiative effects (2013, methodology): “We calculated cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) using the mechanistic parameterisation of cloud drop formation [ Nenes and Seinfeld , 2003] assuming a cloud updraft velocity of 0.2 m s – 1 as used in Spracklen et al .”
A New Parameterization of Cloud Droplet Activation Applicable to General Circulation Models (2006, methodology): “the novel concept of population splitting (differentiating droplets close to the critical diameters from those much larger), the parameterization of Nenes and Seinfeld (2003) substantially reduced the reliance on correlation by achieving a reliable prediction of the droplet number concentration in s”
Aerosol–cloud drop concentration closure in warm cumulus (2004, neutral): “[5] The Nenes et al. [2002] model simulates the activation of aerosol into cloud drops by numerically integrating the equations describing the rate of transfer of heat and water vapor between the gas and particulate phases for a parcel rising at constant updraft velocity [e.”
