What controls the low ice number concentration in the upper troposphere?
Cirrus clouds in the tropical tropopause play a key role in regulating the moisture entering the stratosphere through their dehydrating effect. Low ice number concentrations ( < 200 L<sup>−1</sup>) and high supersaturations (150–160 %) have been observed in these clouds. Diffe...
