Ice water content of Arctic, midlatitude, and tropical cirrus
In situ measurements of total water have been obtained during several airborne field experiments in the Arctic (POLSTAR 1997 and 1998; EUPLEX/ENVISAT 2003), at midlatitudes (ENVISAT 2002, Cirrus 2003 and 2004, TROCCINOX 2005), and in the tropics (APE-THESEO 1999, TROCCINOX/ENVISAT 2005, SCOUT-O3 200...
