Changes in cirrus cloudiness and their relationship to contrails

open access: yes, 2001
Condensation trails, or contrails, formed in the wake of high-altitude aircraft have long been suspected of causing the formation of additional cirrus cloud cover.

Understanding the role of contrails and contrail cirrus in climate change: a global perspective

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Abstract. Globally, emissions from aviation affect Earth's climate via complex processes. Contrail cirrus and carbon dioxide emissions are the largest factors contributing to aviation's radiative forcing on climate. Contrail cirrus, like natural cirrus clouds, impacts Earth's climate. Even with the extensive ongoing research, the relative importance of

Facilitating Climate-Friendly Aviation: Spatial-Frequency Synergy for Contrail Detection in Remote Sensing Imagery

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Aircraft condensation trails (contrails), formed in ice supersaturation regions, are human-induced clouds with significant climate warming effects. Mitigating their climate impact through feasible flight rerouting requires precise contrail detection ...

Verification for Different Contrail Parameterizations Based on Integrated Satellite Observation and ECMWF Reanalysis Data

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2017
Aviation induced cloud termed contrail plays a more and more important role in the climate change, which makes a significant contribution to anthropogenic climate forcing through impacting the coverage of cirrus in the intersection of troposphere and ...

Climate impact assessment of varying cruise flight altitudes applying the CATS simulation approach

open access: yes, 2011
The present paper describes a comprehensive assessment and modelling approach that was developed in the DLR project Climate compatible Air Transport System (CATS) with the goal to analyze different options to reduce the climate impact of aviation.

Day and Night Contrail Climate Impact of Optimised Trajectories

open access: yes, 2022
Contrail formation is one the largest warming contributions of aviation’s climate impact. Measures to mitigate contrail climate impact include the optimisation of flight trajectories to avoid the formation of warming contrails or to find air space where ...
