      abstract     = {Distributions of total water in cirrus provide important
                      information on cloud‐scale variability. Observations of
                      water variables in cirrus are sparse, limiting our ability
                      to constrain factors controlling their evolution and
                      lifetimes. We present and analyze aircraft measurements of
                      tropical and extratropical cirrus total water statistics. We
                      show that observed distributions are replicated by a
                      parametric model that only requires knowledge of in‐cloud
                      temperatures. We parameterize the temporal decay of cloud
                      ice content and distribution skewness forced by ice crystal
                      sedimentation and find that ice water content decays at a
                      much faster rate than skewness in the absence of cloud ice
                      and skewness sources. The sensitivity of skewness to changes
                      in ice water content is small. Our methodology and findings
                      may prove useful for studies addressing statistical cloud
                      schemes and cirrus life cycles.},
