Is the water vapor supersaturation distribution Gaussian?

Abstract Water vapor supersaturation in the atmosphere is produced a variety of ways, including lifting parcel or via isobaric mixing parcels. However, irrespective mechanism production, water has typically been modeled as Gaussian distribution. In current theoretical and numerical study, nature by processes explored. The results from large eddy simulation model reveal distribution supersaturations to be negatively skewed. Further, causes skewness are explored using simulations (LES) (GMM). correlation forcing temperature fields recognized playing key role.
