Satellite-Based Quantification of Contrail Radiative Forcing over Europe: A Two-Week Analysis of Aviation-Induced Climate Effects
The latest conference paper of the Aircraft Operations Lab was led by Irene Ortiz within the framework of the E-CONTRAIL project and submitted to the SESAR Innovation Days 2024. The study delves into the climate impacts of aviation-induced contrails, with a focus on their contribution to radiative forcing (RF). This research utilized data from theContinue reading “Satellite-Based Quantification of Contrail Radiative Forcing over Europe: A Two-Week Analysis of Aviation-Induced Climate Effects”
Integrating non-CO2 climate impact considerations in air traffic management: Opportunities and challenges
Within the framework of the RefMap project, the Aircraft Operations Lab from Carlos III University of Madrid has worked on a recent study published in Transport Policy by researchers Fateme Baneshi, María Cerezo-Magaña, and Manuel Soler. Their research explores how changing flight paths to be more climate-friendly can reduce the impact of aviation on climateContinue reading “Integrating non-CO2 climate impact considerations in air traffic management: Opportunities and challenges”
