First simulations of cryoplane contrails [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2002 In this paper the first numerical simulations of condensation trails (contrails) from liquid hydrogen (LH2) fueled aircraft are presented. Such aircraft produces 2.6 times more exhaust water vapor than equivalent aircraft fueled by kerosene; however, combustion of LH2 produces no aerosol particles.

Effect of contrail overlap on radiative impact attributable to aviation contrails
, 2020 . Condensation trails (“contrails”) which form behind aircraft are estimated to cause on the order of 50 % of the total climate impact of aviation, matching the total impact of all accumulated aviation-attributable CO2.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.Abstract Accurate representation of aerosol size distributions and total number concentrations is critical for evaluating particle impacts on climate, clouds, and public health. An Advanced Particle Microphysics model (APM) has been integrated into the USEPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System (CMAQ) to improve its representation of ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract A new cirrus cloud parameterization for the ICOLMDZ atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) is presented. Prognostic equations for cloud fraction, ice water content and cloudy water vapor are introduced, and the processes that affect these quantities are parameterized.

Sensitivity of radiative properties of persistent contrails to the ice water path [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 The dependence of the radiative properties of persistent linear contrails on the variability of their ice water path is assessed in a two-stream radiative transfer model.

Aircraft Trajectory Optimization and Contrails Avoidance in the Presence of Winds [PDF]
, 2010 There are indications that persistent contrails can lead to adverse climate change, although the complete effect on climate forcing is still uncertain. A flight trajectory optimization algorithm with fuel and contrails models, which develops alternative ...

The impact of diurnal variations of air traffic on contrail radiative forcing [PDF]
, 2007 We combined high resolution aircraft flight data from the EU Fifth Framework Programme project AERO2k with analysis data from the ECMWF's integrated forecast system to calculate diurnally resolved 3-D contrail cover.
