Short summary
This study presents the cirrus occurrence and optical properties at high- and midlatitudes using the satellite lidar measurements. The results indicate the differences in cirrus occurrence and optical properties across latitudes. Besides seasonality, the cirrus extinction and depolarization show a consistent decrease with increasing latitude. The potential causes are discussed and it turns out that aerosol particles show much larger concentrations at midlatitudes than at high-latitudes.
