Abstract
Summary - An upward shift of cirrus clouds at a rate higher than that predicted by the climate models is observed in the last 16 years. - Only sub-visible cirrus clouds exhibited upward shift in their altitude. - Optical thickness of sub-visible and thick cirrus clouds showed decreasing trends. - No significant trend was obtained from the CALIOP data over Gadanki. - SAGE-II data show increasing trend in the occurrence frequency of aerosol and decreasing trend in aerosol-cloud mixture - CALIOP observations show increase in cirrus cloud occurrence in Western-equatorial pacific.
