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.

Prediction and use of contrail frequency index for contrail reduction strategies
, 2010 Methods have been proposed to reduce aircraft-induced contrails by on-board sens-ing and strategic planning. This paper describes a class of indices that predict potential aircraft-induced contrail formations one to six hours in advance.

An automatic contrail tracking algorithm [PDF]
, 2010 A method designed to track the life cycle of contrail-cirrus using satellite data with high temporal and spatial resolution, from its formation to the final dissolution of the aviation-induced cirrus cloud is presented.

Contrails, contrail cirrus, and ship tracks [PDF]
, 2006 The following text is an enlarged version of the conference tutorial lecture on contrails, contrail cirrus, and ship tracks. I start with a general introduction into aerosol effects on clouds. Contrail formation and persistence, aviation’s share to cirrus trends and ship tracks are treated then.

Contrail, or not contrail, that is the question: the "feasibility" of climate-optimal routing
The environmental impact of aviation has been a focus of significant research for several decades. While there is a broad consensus among stakeholders on reducing carbon emissions, leading to efforts to improve route efficiency in air traffic management, the impact of non-carbon emissions like contrails has sparked a different debate.

Understanding Contrail Management: Opportunities, Challenges, and Insights [PDF]
The following report examines the state of science and mitigation of contrails — the linear clouds created by aircraft in cold and humid air — including an overview of the current approaches and efforts to better understand and address their significant ...

Evaluating Fuel-Climate Tradeoffs in Contrail Avoidance
, 2023 Contrails, the line-shaped clouds that can form behind airplanes, have been estimated to be a major contributor to aviation-induced climate change. Operational contrail avoidance via flight re-routing may be an effective and efficient mitigation approach

Targeted use of paraffinic kerosene: Potentials and implications
Atmospheric Environment: XAviation contributes to anthropogenic climate change mainly by contrails, CO2 and NOx emissions, whereof contrails are considered the largest single contributor to the radiative forcing from aviation.

Potential Radiative Impact of Contrail Coverage over Continental USA Estimated from AVHRR Data
, 1999 Contrails are a potential factor in anthropogenic climate change because they often form in aircraft exhaust and can develop into persistent cirrus clouds.
