    abstract = "A cirrus cloud dataset from a groundbased lidar in a sub-arctic station
is analyzed in terms of the particle depolarization ratio. The
depolarization values -delta- showed a broad distribution, ranging
between 0.25 and 0.7, with a mean value of 0.38 +/- 0.07. This
variability is examined in correlation with temperature dependencies and
the cirrus optical depth. Depolarization values greater than 0.45 are
observed from temperatures between -60 degrees C and -40 degrees C,
where horizontally oriented planar ice crystals are to be expected. Two
case studies are also, discussed and analyzed in terms of depolarization
height dependence."
