A rapidly convergent procedure for computing large-scale condensation in a dynamical weather model

A generalized Newton-Raphson procedure is used to calculate the amount of moisture which should be removed when the air in a grid cell of a dynamical weather model becomes supersaturated. A test of the procedure shows that iteration is unnecessary: one pass leaves a residual supersaturation in the parts per million range. DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1973.tb01598.x
