Measurements of the crystal size distribution performed over Southern Germany show that the effective diameter decrease 10--30% in cirrus clouds perturbed by aircraft. The reduction is more pronounced at higher cloud water content and is not observed at temperatures warmer than -30 ¿C. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
