Contrails from airplane flyovers have an unexpected effect. Scientists have studied their impact on global warming and found that they play a role in regulating the Earth's temperature.
The "Contrail Cirrus Prediction Tool" CoCiP has been developed to simulate contrail cirrus resulting from a single flight as well as from a fleet of cruising aircraft, flight by flight, regionally or ...
To do that, researchers at NASA Langley have partnered with GE Aerospace to further examine the effects of contrails. Using LIDAR technology, or light detection and ranging, researchers used a ...
Tweaking the routes of a small number of planes could reduce the warming effect of contrails by half and cost less than €4 per ticket, according to a study. Contrails (or condensation trails ...
with the non-CO2 effects of air travel producing two to four times the impact of carbon emissions, a Greens MEP has said. Clouds forming from condensation trails - known as contrail cirrus ...

Contrails and their warming effect will be discussed on Wednesday at an event, co-hosted by a University of Cambridge institute, at the COP29 climate summit. Latest stories Yahoo News Australia ...
Did you know that nearly half of the climate impact of aviation consists of non-carbon-dioxide effects? These include contrails – the only effect that can be observed in the sky with the naked eye.
