The authors introduce a method for calculating effective peak cloud supersaturation and apply it to in-cloud measurements at the high-altitude Jungfraujoch research station in the Swiss Alps. The introduced method uses total and interstitial aerosol size distributions to determine aerosol activation diameter, CCN measurements to determine particle hygroscopicity, and kappa-Kohler theory to combine these measurements and derive effective peak supersaturation. The method is applied to a large amount of data from a series of intensive field campaigns at Jungfraujoch (CLACE 2002, 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2011). Due to the local topography there is two prevailing wind di-
