Simulation and Optimization Methods for Assessing the Impact of Aviation Operations on the Environment [PDF]
, 2010 There is increased awareness of anthropogenic factors affecting climate change and urgency to slow the negative impact. Greenhouse gases, oxides of Nitrogen and contrails resulting from aviation affect the climate in different and uncertain ways.

Aircraft Trajectory Optimization and Contrails Avoidance in the Presence of Winds [PDF]
, 2010 There are indications that persistent contrails can lead to adverse climate change, although the complete effect on climate forcing is still uncertain. A flight trajectory optimization algorithm with fuel and contrails models, which develops alternative ...

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingAircraft 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 ...

The Use of Meteorlogical Data to Improve Contrail Detection in Thermal Imagery over Ireland. [PDF]
, 2009 Aircraft induced contrails have been found to have a net warming influence on the climate system, with strong regional dependence. Persistent linear contrails are detectable in 1 Km thermal imagery and, using an automated Contrail Detection Algorithm ...

Fuel Efficient Strategies for Reducing Contrail Formations in United States Air Space [PDF]
, 2010 This paper describes a class of strategies for reducing persistent contrail formation in the United States airspace. The primary objective is to minimize potential contrail formation regions by altering the aircraft's cruising altitude in a fuel ...
