As it becomes increasingly necessary to reduce aviation-related emissions, condensation trails present an additional challenge. These are arguably responsible for the largest contribution to radiative forcing in the sector, but the phenomenon is still ...

Aircraft induced cirrus clouds have a major effect on climate. These clouds are triggered by air-traffic, if the ambient air is super-saturated with respect to ice. Operational radiosonde data with high vertical resolution is used to estimate the effect of small changes in flight altitudes on contrail and cirrus formation.

A Linear Programming Approach to the Development of Contrail Reduction Strategies Satisfying Operationally Feasible Constraints [PDF]
A class of strategies has been proposed to reduce contrail formation in the United States airspace. A 3D grid based on weather data and the cruising altitude level of aircraft is adjusted to avoid the persistent contrail potential area with the ...

Evidence of impact of aviation on cirrus cloud formation [PDF]
International audienceThis work examines changes in cirrus cloud cover (CCC) in possible association with aviation activities at congested air corridors. The analysis is based on the latest version of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project

Optical scattering and microphysical properties of subvisual cirrus clouds, and climatic implications [PDF]
The optical and microphysical properties of subvisual cirrus clouds are derived from ground-based polarization lidar, shortwave radiation flux, and solar corona measurements of two approximately 0.75 km deep cirrus located near the tropopause.
