Freezing thresholds and cirrus cloud formation mechanisms inferred from in situ measurements of relative humidity
Factors controlling the microphysical link between distributions of relative humidity above ice saturation in the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere and cirrus clouds are examined with the help of microphysical trajectory simulations. Our findings are related to results from aircraft me...
