The mixed-phase version of moist-air entropy
Abstract
The aim of this note is to derive the mixed-phase version of the moist-air entropy potential temperature θs derived in Marquet (2011). This mixed-phase version is suitable to describe parcels where liquid water and ice are allowed to coexist, with possible under- or super-saturations, with possible supercooled water and with possible different temperatures for dry air and water vapour, on the one hand, condensed water and ice, on the other hand. The impact of this new mixed-phase version for θs are evaluated by using high latitudes, SHEBA/FIRE-ACE vertical profiles depicted in Figure 7 of Morisson et al. (2011).
