Monthly mean spatial and vertical distributions of the frequency of occurrence (FSTC) of semitransparent cirrus (STC) and their physical and optical properties over the Indian region are investigated using multiyear CALIPSO data. Over the Bay of Bengal (BoB), FSTC above the lapse-rate tropopause is >30% during the summer monsoon season, most of which has optical depth <0.03. Based on spatial variations of the observed STC properties away from deep convective regions, we propose that the presence of high-altitude clouds below STCs over the BoB and Indian regions during summer monsoon reduces dissipation of STCs, resulting in their longer lifetime (˜1-2 days).
