Formation of cirrus clouds depends on the availability of ice nuclei to begin condensation of
atmospheric water vapor. Although it is known that only a small fraction of atmospheric …

Upper tropospheric observations outside and inside of cirrus clouds indicate water vapour
mixing ratios sometimes exceeding water saturation. Relative humidities over ice (RH ice) of …

Globally, emissions from aviation affect Earth's climate via complex processes. Contrail
cirrus and carbon dioxide emissions are the largest factors contributing to aviation's radiative …

Water vapor measurements of midlatitude cirrus clouds, obtained by the WAter vapour Lidar
Experiment in Space (WALES) lidar system during the Mid-Latitude Cirrus (ML-CIRRUS) …

The life cycle of individual (initially line shaped) contrails behind aircraft and of contrail cirrus
(aged contrails mixed with other ice clouds) is described. The full contrail life cycle is …

We explore the importance of the life cycle of detrained tropical anvil clouds in producing a
weak net cloud radiative effect (NCRE) by tropical convective systems. We simulate a …

Thermodynamics, Kinetics and Microphysics of Clouds presents a unified theoretical
foundation that provides the basis for incorporating cloud microphysical processes in cloud …

A double-moment bulk microphysics scheme for modelling cirrus clouds including explicit
impact of aerosols on different types of nucleation mechanism is described. Process rates …

In this study we investigate the radiative impact of ice supersaturated regions (ISSRs, ie,
cloud free air masses in the upper troposphere that are supersaturated with respect to ice) …

The homogeneous nucleation of ice in solution droplets is known to be an important
mechanism of ice particle formation in the Earth's upper troposphere. It is known that the …
