Confronting the Challenge of Modeling Cloud and Precipitation Microphysics (2020, result): “These researchers also recently corroborated the conditions suggested by Korolev and Mazin (2003) for the maintenance of mixed‐phase clouds (Desai et al., 2019).”
Intercomparison of the cloud water phase among global climate models (2014, methodology): “For example, CAM-Oslo uses the vertical velocity criteria on updrafts and downdrafts as explained in Korolev and Mazin [2003] to determine the occurrence of the WBF process using a subgrid scale velocity distribution [Storelvmo et al., 2008b]. This detailed representation allows for more liquid wate”
Accuracy of tropospheric and stratospheric water vapor measurements by the cryogenic frost point hygrometer: Instrumental details and observations (2007, background): “In liquid clouds we can expect that the relative humidity over liquid is very near 100% [e.g., Korolev and Mazin, 2003].”
Ice supersaturations and cirrus cloud crystal numbers (2008, background): “However,Korolev and Mazin(2003) showed that one important parameter controlling the water vapour relaxation time andRHice is the product of the mean number and size of the ice crystals, Nice·Rice, the so-called integral ice crystal radius, which is inversely linked toRHice.”
Improvements to an Empirical Parameterization of Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation and Its Comparison with Observations (2013, background): “In mixed-phase cloud, the humidity is maintained close to water saturation by the liquid phase (Korolev and Mazin 2003; Korolev 2007).”
The effect of dynamics on mixed-phase clouds: Theoretical considerations (2008, background): “Similarly, through consideration of the quasi-steady relative humidity of a cloud parcel, Korolev and Mazin (2003) found a threshold vertical velocity u* z ϭ B* i N i r i a w ͑1͒ that must be exceeded to activate liquid water in ice clouds, that is u z Ͼ u* z , ͑2͒ where N i , r i are the…”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “However, the WBF process can only occur under a limited range of conditions because it requires that the vapor pressure exceeds ice saturation but is below liquid saturation (Korolev 2007; Korolev and Mazin 2003).”
Limitations of the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen Mechanism in the Evolution of Mixed-Phase Clouds (2007, background): “clouds is subsaturated with respect to water (Korolev and Mazin 2003).”
Droplet growth in warm turbulent clouds (2012, result): “It is worth noting here that Lu et al. (2010) derived an analytical form of rD (for St 1) that is similar in form to that derived empirically by Ayala et al.”
Mixed-Phase Clouds: Progress and Challenges (2017, methodology): “For uz5 0, the glaciation time of a mixed-phase cloud can be estimated as (Korolev and Mazin 2003) t gl 5 1 4pcA i S i 9pr i 2r2a 1/3" q w0 1 q i0 N i 2/3 2 q i0 N i 2/3# , (5-5) where qw0 and qi0 are the initial liquid and ice water mixing ratios, respectively; Si is the supersaturation over ice…”
Sensitivity studies of different aerosol indirect effects in mixed-phase clouds (2009, background): “whereNi is the ice crystal number concentration, ri the mean volume radius of the ice particles and η is a coefficient dependent on temperature and pressure ( Korolev and Mazin, 2003).”
