Aircraft clouds: from chemtrail pseudoscience to the science of contrails [PDF]
, 2017 The most frequent statements and arguments found in pseudoscience websites and forums supporting the existence of so-called aircraft chemtrails can be refuted with a scientific explanation of the processes resulting in the formation of condensation or ...

Aircraft type influence on contrail properties [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 The investigation of the impact of aircraft parameters on contrail properties helps to better understand the climate impact from aviation. Yet, in observations, it is a challenge to separate aircraft and meteorological influences on contrail formation ...

Long-term upper-troposphere climatology of potential contrail occurrence over the Paris area derived from radiosonde observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Condensations trails (or contrails) that form behind aircraft have been of climatic interest for many years; yet, their radiative forcing is still uncertain.

Benchmarking and improving algorithms for attributing satellite-observed contrails to flights [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesCondensation trail (contrail) cirrus clouds cause a substantial fraction of aviation's climate impact. One proposed method for the mitigation of this impact involves modifying flight paths to avoid particular regions of the atmosphere that are conducive ...

Towards Determining the Contrail Cirrus Efficacy
Aerospace, 2021 Contrail cirrus has been emphasized as the largest individual component of aircraft climate impact, yet respective assessments have been based mainly on conventional radiative forcing calculations.

Impact of host climate model on contrail cirrus effective radiative forcing estimates [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsEstimates of aviation effective radiative forcing (ERF) indicate that contrail cirrus is currently its largest contributor, although with a substantial associated uncertainty of ∼ 70 %.

Northern Hemisphere contrail properties derived from Terra and Aqua MODIS data for 2006 and 2012 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 Linear contrail coverage, optical property, and radiative forcing data over the Northern Hemisphere (NH) are derived from a year (2012) of Terra and Aqua Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery and compared with previously published

On contrail climate sensitivity [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 In equilibrium climate change simulations with a global climate model we estimate the climate sensitivity parameter to contrail cirrus to be 0.43 K/(Wm−2), only about 60% of the corresponding value for a CO2 forcing. The spatial pattern of the surface temperature response is much smoother than the forcing pattern of contrails with little correlation ...
