Contrail Modeling of ECLIF2/ND‑MAX flights: Effects of nvPM Particle Numbers and Fuel Sulfur Content
Meteorologische ZeitschriftThe formation of contrail ice particles under the conditions observed during the ECLIF2/ND‑MAX flight campaign was simulated to understand two specific aspects of the contrail measurements.

Radiative Effects of contrails and contrail cirrus
, 2015 Contrails and contrail-cirrus contribute a large share to aviation’s greenhouse forcing and strategies to mitigate their adverse effects have been quested after for many years now. The magnitude of radiative forcing due to contrails and contrail-cirrus is yet uncertain and, surprisingly, many years of research and many measurement campaigns could not ...

Ice supersaturation and the potential for contrail formation in a changing climate [PDF]
, 2015 Ice supersaturation (ISS) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere is important for the formation of cirrus clouds and long-lived contrails. Cold ISS (CISS) regions (taken here to be ice-supersaturated regions with temperature below 233 K) are ...

Evaluation of the use of radiosonde humidity data to predict the occurrence of persistent contrails [PDF]
, 2007 Regular visual observations of persistent contrails over Reading, UK, have been used to evaluate radiosonde measurements of temperature and humidity defining cold ice-supersaturated atmospheric regions which are assumed to be a necessary condition for ...

Laboratory and modeling studies on the effects of water and soot emissions and ambient conditions on the properties of contrail ice particles in the jet regime [PDF]
, 2013 Contrails and contrail-induced cirrus clouds are identified as the most uncertain components in determining aviation impacts on global climate change. Parameters affecting contrail ice particle formation immediately after the engine exit plane (< 5 s in ...

Stratospheric aircraft exhaust plume and wake chemistry studies [PDF]
This report documents progress to date in an ongoing study to analyze and model emissions leaving a proposed High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) from when the exhaust gases leave the engine until they are deposited at atmospheric scales in the stratosphere.
