Short summary
We evaluate the regional and seasonal variability in the prediction of ice supersaturated region (ISSRS) in the ERA5 reanalysis using in situ measurements. ERA5 shows better ability to predict ISSRs in the extratropics, compared to the tropics, and in colder seasons, such as extratropical winter. While ERA5 generally underestimates the ISSR occurrence, we find an overestimation in tropical regions in seasons associated larger weather variability, such as South Asia in June, July and August.
