Reduced contrail radiative effect for fleets with low soot and water vapour emissions
Atmospheric Environment: XBesides the goal of net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, reducing aviation’s climate impact also involves addressing other forcing effects, particularly radiative forcing from contrails.

ETO cloud studies for FIRE 2, part 1 [PDF]
This research program in support of Project FIRE (First ISCCP Regional Experiment) involved two efforts. The results of the first effort, which were in direct support of the Extended Time Observations (ETO) component, are described here.

Contrail Tracking and ARM Data Product Development [PDF]
A contrail tracking system was developed to help in the assessment of the effect of commercial jet contrails on the Earth's radiative budget. The tracking system was built by combining meteorological data from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) numerical ...

On the Transition of Contrails into Cirrus Clouds
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2000 In situ observations of the microphysical properties of upper-tropospheric contrails and cirrus clouds have been performed during more than 15 airborne missions over central Europe. Experimental and technical aspects concerning in situ characterization of ice clouds with the help of optical and nonoptical detection methods (preferably FSSP-300 and ...

The 27-28 October 1986 FIRE IFO Cirrus case study: Comparison of radiative transfer theory with observations by satellite and aircraft [PDF]
Observations of cirrus and altocumulus clouds during the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Regional Experiment (FIRE) are compared to theoretical models of cloud radiative properties. Three tests are performed.

, 2007 The impact of air traffic on climate is dominated by the contribution of aircraft induced cirrus. Hence, any mitigation strategy has to consider the production of contrails and cirrus clouds. Here we use operational radiosonde data with high vertical resolution to estimate the effect of a small change in flight altitudes to avoid flight in ice ...
