Abstract

Abstract Special high-level cloud observations from two commercial jet air lines are used to estimate the vertical distribution of cirriform clouds. One year's data are summarized graphically for certain high-latitude routes and the California-Honolulu sector. Tropopauses in very high latitudes are occasionally exceeded in height by cirrus. Tropical tropopause levels are consistently 5 km. or more above the cirrus tops reported between Honolulu and the California coast.
