Abstract
A large body of aircraft reports is analyzed to provide information on the vertical and horizontal distribution of cirriform clouds in Canada. Other parameters are investigated including temperatures at the base of cirrus cloud, relationship of cloud tops with the tropopause, stratospheric cirrus, and visibility in cirriform clouds.
