Fig. 10
Linear fits relating the large particle size distribution slope parameter (D > 100µm), l, to cloud temperature, for tropical and mid-latitude cirrus. The mean ice particle length is 1/slope.
Fig. 11
Same as Fig. 10, but for the small ice crystal size distribution mode (D < 100 µm). Data shown are for the 3 CEPEX tropical anvil case studies.

Fig. 12
Function for partitioning the size distribution IWC between the small and large particle modes, given solely in terms of the mean dimension of the large particle mode. Circles and "+" symbols indicate the measured fraction of IWC in the small and large particle modes, respectively, for the 3 CEPEX case studies. Planar polycrystals were assumed in calculating ice crystal mass.
