Abstract
Ice supersaturation is a frequent phenomenon in cold (below 0°C) regions of the atmosphere. Ice-supersaturated regions are regions where cirrus clouds can form and where condensation trails are long lasting (up to many hours). This article provides an introduction to the topic of ice supersaturation in the atmosphere. It gives answers to the following questions: What is relative humidity? What is the origin of ice supersaturation? Since when does one know about ice supersaturation in the atmosphere? Where does one find ice supersaturation in the atmosphere and how often? What are the properties of ice supersaturated regions? How important is ice supersaturation for the atmosphere, for the weather and for climate? And finally: Which are the highest values of ice supersaturation in the atmosphere?
