On the Lifetimes of Persistent Contrails and Contrail Cirrus [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: AtmospheresAbstract Prediction of contrail cirrus persistence is highly problematic for models, in part due to a poor representation of intertwined microphysical and dynamical processes controlling contrail evolution in large‐scale ice‐supersaturated areas.

On the Life Cycle of Individual Contrails and Contrail Cirrus [PDF]
Meteorological Monographs, 2017 Abstract The life cycle of individual (initially line shaped) contrails behind aircraft and of contrail cirrus (aged contrails mixed with other ice clouds) is described. The full contrail life cycle is covered, from ice formation for given water, heat, and particulate emissions; to changes in the jet, wake, and dispersion phases; through

Global aviation contrail climate effects from 2019 to 2021 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 The current best-estimate of the global annual mean radiative forcing (RF) attributable to contrail cirrus is thought to be 3 times larger than the RF from aviation's cumulative CO2 emissions.

Impact of biofuels on contrail warming
Environmental Research Letters, 2017 Contrails and contrail-cirrus may be the largest source of radiative forcing (RF) attributable to aviation. Biomass-derived alternative jet fuels are a potentially major way to mitigate the climate impacts of aviation by reducing lifecycle CO _2 ...

, 2012 Cloud computing infrastructures support dynamical and flexible access to computational, network and storage resources. To date, several disjoint industrial and academic technologies provide infrastruc- ture level access to Clouds. Especially for industrial platforms, the evolu- tion of de-facto standards goes together with worries about user lock-in to

Contrail Detection in Satellite Images
, 2012 Methods for detecting linear contrail pixels in satellite infrared images are described. An objective contrail detection algorithm has been developed and extensively applied to data from various polar and geostationary satellite sensors. The method uses the contrast in brightness temperatures near 11 and 12 μm wavelengths and detects linear contrails ...

Climate Impact of Contrail Cirrus [PDF]
, 2023 Air traffic has been growing exponentially over the last decades and thus plays an important role for future climate mitigation strategies. Contrail cirrus is regarded to be the largest contributor to aviation induced climate impact on the basis of ...
