Particle backscatter and relative humidity measured across cirrus clouds and comparison with microphysical cirrus modelling

Advanced measurement and modelling techniques are employed to estimate the partitioning of atmospheric water between the gas phase and the condensed phase in and around cirrus clouds, and thus to identify in-cloud and out-of-cloud supersaturations with respect to ice. In November 2008 the newly deve...
