abstract = {Subvisible cirrus clouds (SVCs) may contribute to
dehydration close to the tropical tropopause. The higher and
colder SVCs and the larger their ice crystals, the more
likely they represent the last efficient point of contact of
the gas phase with the ice phase and, hence, the last
dehydrating step, before the air enters the stratosphere.
The first simultaneous in situ and remote sensing
measurements of SVCs were taken during the APE-THESEO
campaign in the western Indian ocean in February/March 1999.
The observed clouds, termed Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause
Clouds (UTTCs), belong to the geometrically and optically
thinnest large-scale clouds in the Earth's atmosphere.
Individual UTTCs may exist for many hours as an only 200-300
m thick cloud layer just a few hundred meters below the
tropical cold point tropopause, covering up to 10(5) km(2).
With temperatures as low as 181 K these clouds are prime
representatives for defining the water mixing ratio of air
entering the lower stratosphere.},
