On the impact of ice formation processes and sedimentation on cirrus origin classification in warm conveyor belt outflow

<p>Formation pathways of cirrus clouds are thought to differ in their dominant ice nucleation mechanism and thermodynamic regime: liquid-origin cirrus form at water saturation, and ice crystals form by freezing of liquid water drops, while in situ cirrus form below water saturation at low temp...
