They influence the energy balance of the atmosphere by changing the earth’s albedo and greenhouse effect, and redistribute energy by releasing and consuming latent heat in cloud particle nucleation and dissolution processes. Climate models therefore react sensitively on the implemented cloud parametrizations, which have to be under constant review to implement new insights into cloud formation and evolutionprocesses. Ice clouds pose a particular challenge for simulations: In mid-level and high clouds, several possible ways for cloud glaciation and ice particle formation compete. These processes produce particles that vary strongly in habits, concentrations and radiative properties. As long as it remains unclear which processes are active, how their influence is distributed globally, how these processes might change due to global warming, and what the properties of the produced ice particles are, ice clouds will remain a significant factor of uncertainty in climate predictions. Over the last years, a number of studies has been performed to examine these questions. The Jülich instrument NIXE-CAPS has contributed a unique ice particle concentration dataset that was used to evaluate global cloud simulations. This thesis presents the extension of the aforesaid dataset into mid-level clouds, where the partitioning of ice and supercooled liquid water becomes increasingly relevant. NIXE-CAPS provides three relevant characteristics of the observed clouds: particle number concentrations, particle size distributions and particle asphericity - especially of small particles with diameters below 50 $\mu$m, which have been rarely analysed so far. The analysis of this data set was extended, evaluated and accelerated in the course of this work: instrument comparisons, error estimations and new corrections complement earlier works with NIXE-CAPS. The improved algorithms allowed a reanalysis of previous measurements and resulted in a consistent data set covering 39 hours of measurements within high clouds (cirrus) and over 38 hours within mid-level clouds. With the NIXE-CAPS measurements, the following tasks were performed: The proportions of liquid, mixed-phase, ’small ice’, and ’large ice’ clouds were resolved for Arctic, mid-latitude and tropical observations. Also, the new model CLaMS-Ice was evaluated and improved with respect to its microphysical accuracy: It provides detailed cirrus cloud simulations over a wide range of meteorological conditions. It can thus be used for large-scale cirrus cloud simulations which is expected to lead to new insights regarding the global cirrus cloud cover’s climatological characteristics. 000829847 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-244$$a244 - Composition and dynamics of the upper troposphere and middle atmosphere (POF3-244)$$cPOF3-244$$fPOF III$$x0 000829847 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)HITEC-20170406$$aHITEC - Helmholtz Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training in Energy and Climate Research (HITEC) (HITEC-20170406)$$cHITEC-20170406$$x1 000829847 650_7 $$xDiss. 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000829847 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/829847/files/Energie_Umwelt_397.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000829847 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:829847$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pVDB:Earth_Environment$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000829847 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000829847 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000829847 9141_ $$y2017 000829847 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)156523$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000829847 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-244$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-240$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bErde und Umwelt$$lAtmosphäre und Klima$$vComposition and dynamics of the upper troposphere and middle atmosphere$$x0 000829847 920__ $$lyes 000829847 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IEK-7-20101013$$kIEK-7$$lStratosphäre$$x0 000829847 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000829847 980__ $$aphd 000829847 980__ $$aVDB 000829847 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000829847 980__ $$abook 000829847 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IEK-7-20101013 000829847 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ICE-4-20101013
