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”
