abstract = {Cirrus clouds have a large influence on the Earth's climate
and anthropogenic activities such as aviation can alter
their properties. Besides the formation of contrails,
indirect effects on naturally occurring cirrus like
increased heterogeneous freezing due to exhaust soot
particles are discussed in the literature. However, hardly
any observational study exists. In this work we present
cirrus optical properties measured by an airborne lidar over
Europe during the Midlatitude Cirrus experiment
(ML‐CIRRUS). One half of the cloud cases showed elevated
depolarization ratios with a mode difference of 10
percentage points indicating differences in the clouds
microphysical properties. Their origin can be traced back to
highly frequented air traffic regions, and they show lower
in‐cloud ice supersaturations. Our analysis reveals no
influence of embedded contrails and temperature. These
results could be explained by an indirect aerosol effect
where heterogeneous freezing is caused by aviation exhaust
particles.},
