abstract = {Observations of high-altitude cirrus clouds are reported
from measurements made during the routine monitoring of
cloud properties on commercial aircraft as part of the
In-Service Aircraft for a Global Observing System. The
increasing global scale of the measurements is revealed,
with 7 years of in situ data producing a unique and rapidly
growing dataset. We find that cloud fractions measured ≥
10 km at aircraft cruise altitude are representative of
seasonal trends associated with the mid-latitude jet stream
in the Northern Hemisphere, and the relatively higher cloud
fractions are found in tropical regions such as the
Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and South East Asia. Both
stratospheric and tropospheric data were used to calculate
the cloud fractions routinely experienced by commercial
aircraft. Further work is needed for a direct comparison
with previous studies that limit cloud fraction calculations
to tropospheric data only. The characteristics of these
clouds are discussed and the potential different formation
mechanisms in different regions assessed},
