Thin and subvisible cirrus and contrails in a subsaturated environment

The frequency of occurrence of cirrus clouds and contrails, their life time, ice crystal size spectra and thus their radiative properties depend strongly on the ambient distribution of the relative humidity with respect to ice (RH<sub>ice</sub>). Ice clouds do not for...
