Ice supersaturated regions: properties and validation of ERA-Interim reanalysis with IAGOS in situ water vapour measurements

<p>Cirrus clouds and their potential formation regions, so-called ice supersaturated regions (ISSRs), with values of relative humidity with respect to ice exceeding 100&thinsp;%, occur frequently in the tropopause region. It is assumed that ISSRs and cirrus clouds can change the tropopause...
