On the Transition of Contrails into Cirrus Clouds

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of contrails into cirrus clouds on the timescale of 1 h is discussed in terms of a representative set of number densities, and size distributions and surface area distributions of aerosols and cloud elements, with special emphasis on small ice crystals (diameter,20 mm).
Journal ArticleDOI

A new airborne polar Nephelometer for the measurements of optical and microphysical cloud properties. Part I: Theoretical design

TL;DR: The airborne Polar Nephelometer as mentioned in this paper measured the optical and microphysical parameters of clouds containing either water droplets or ice crystals or a mixture of these particles ranging in size from a few micrometers to about 500 μm diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water vapour measurements inside cirrus clouds in Northern and Southern hemispheres during INCA

TL;DR: In this paper, water vapour data inside cirrus clouds from in-situ measurements with an aircraft-borne frost-point hygrometer is analyzed and a distribution law for the relative humidity inside the clouds is inferred.
