abstract = {Ice particle and cloud properties such as particle size,
particle shape and number concentration influence the net
radiation effect of cirrus clouds. Measurements of these
features are of great interest for the improvement of
weather and climate models, especially for the Arctic
region. In this study, balloon-borne in-situ measurements of
Arctic cirrus clouds have been analysed for the first time
with respect to their origin. Eight cirrus cloud
measurements were carried out in Kiruna (68°N), Sweden. Ice
particle diameters between 10μm and 1200μm were found and
the shape could be recognised from 20μm upwards. Great
variability in particle size and shape was observed. This
cannot simply be explained by local environmental
conditions. However, if sorted by cirrus origin, wind, and
weather conditions, the observed differences can be
assessed. Number concentrations between 3/L and 400/L were
measured, but only for two cases the number concentration
reached values above 100/L. These two cirrus clouds were of
in-situ origin and were caused by gravity and mountain
lee-waves. For all other measurements, the maximum ice
particle concentration was below 50/L and for one in-situ
origin cirrus case only 3/L. In the case of in-situ origin
clouds, the particles were all smaller than 350μm diameter.
The number size distribution for liquid origin clouds was
much broader with particle sizes between 10μm and 1200μm.
Furthermore, it is striking that in the case of in-situ
origin clouds almost all particles were compact $(61\%)$ or
irregular $(25\%)$ when examining the particle shape. In
liquid origin clouds, on the other hand, most particles were
irregular $(48\%),$ rosettes $(25\%)$ or columnar $(14\%).$
There were hardly any plates in cirrus regardless of their
origin. It is also noticeable that in the case of liquid
origin clouds the rosettes and columnar particles were
almost all hollow.},
