Comment on “Surface air relative humidities spuriously exceeding 100% in CMIP5 model output and their impact on future rojections” by K. Ruosteenoja et al. (2017)

Key Points: Ruosteenoja et al.'s (2017) claim that supersaturation in the surface atmosphere is unrealistic and necessarily spurious and incorrect. Supersaturations are a reality that an increasing number of atmospheric models can reproduce even in the surface atmosphere. Modelers should not artificially cap relative humidity at 100% when feeding climate model archives.
