Abstract At infrared wavelengths many thin, low mass dust clouds are observed at high galactic latitudes. In this paper a number of observations, including optical observations related to these “cirrus” clouds are discussed. The clouds are excellently suitable for studies of grain properties and of the surrounding radiation field. Infrared observations clearly indicate that two populations of dust particles are involved, a population of large particles and a varying population of very small particles. The clouds themselves cannot be gravitationally bound and each cloud may be a short lived entity.
