A trajectory‐based classification of ERA‐Interim ice clouds in the region of the North Atlantic storm track

Abstract A two‐type classification of ice clouds (cirrus) is introduced, based on the liquid and ice water content, LWC and IWC, along air parcel backward trajectories from the clouds. In situ cirrus has no LWC along the trajectory segment containing IWC; it forms via nucleation from the gas phase....
