The shapes of the in-cloud humidity distributions change from nearly symmetric in relatively warm cirrus (warmer than -40degreesC) to considerably positively skew (i.e. towards high humidities) in colder clouds. These results are in agreement to findings obtained recently from the IN-terhemispheric differences in Cirrus properties from Anthropogenic emissions (INCA) campaign (Ovarlez et al., 2002). We interprete the temperature dependence of the shapes of the humidity distributions as an effect of the length of time a cirrus cloud needs from formation to a mature equilibrium stage, where the humidity is close to saturation. The duration of this transitional period increases with decreasing temperature. Hence cold cirrus clouds are more often met in the transitional stage than warm clouds. 000042870 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK257$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aChemie und Dynamik der Geo-Biosphäre$$cU01$$x0 000042870 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science 000042870 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000042870 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aGierens, K.$$b1 000042870 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)16203$$aSmit, H.
