Abstract. Ice crystals, also known as diamond dust, are sus-pended in the boundary layer air under clear sky conditions during most of the Arctic winter in Northern Canada. Oc-casionally ice crystal events can produce significantly thick layers with optical depths in excess of 2.0 even in the ab-sen...
