On the Dependence of Cirrus Parametrizations on the Cloud Origin
Parametrizations of Arctic cirrus particle size distributions are presented depending on the cloud origin, either in situ or liquid. The data set used originate from balloonâ€borne measurements above Kiruna during winter. The observed particle size distributions are represented by gamma functions. T...

Parametrizations of Arctic cirrus particle size distributions are presented depending on the cloud origin, either in situ or liquid. The data set used originate from balloonâ€borne measurements above Kiruna during winter. The observed particle size distributions are represented by gamma functions. The gamma coefficients exhibit large differences with regard to cloud origin. The functions for Arctic cirrus confirm established parametrizations for continental cirrus sorted by two particle size modes but differ from others depending only on temperature. We suppose that the agreement between the parametrizations of the geographically different cirrus is because in situ and liquid origin cirrus also distinguish by particle size modes.
