      abstract     = {We have analysed relative humidity statistics from
                      measurements in cirrus clouds taken unintentionally during
                      the Measurement of OZone by Airbus In-service airCraft
                      project (MOZAIC). 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.},
