Investigating an indirect aviation effect on mid-latitude cirrus clouds – linking lidar-derived optical properties to in situ measurements by S. Groß, T. Jurkat-Witschas, Q. Li, M. Wirth, B. Urbanek, M. Krämer, M. Krämer, R. Weigel, C. Voigt, C. Voigt

“…Larger effective ice particles in aviation-influenced (high-PLDR-mode) cirrus are connected to lower ice particle number concentration with a median value of 0.05 compared to 0.11 cm<span class="inline-formula">⁻³</span> (low-PLDR-mode), which evolved in more pristine regions with only little impact from aviation. We suspect that a suppression of homogeneous ice formation by the heterogeneously freezing soot aerosol particles included in the areas affected by air traffic is the cause of the reduced ice crystal concentrations.…”
