A series of in-situ balloon-borne experiments con- ducted at Kiruna, Sweden (68°N), is studying upper- tropospheric, cold ice clouds in arctic latitudes. Ex- periments are launched from Esrange Space Center and collect ice particles with an in-situ imaging instrument. One of the aims with these meas...
