Latest paper: “Linear Contrails Detection, Tracking and Matching with Aircraft Using Geostationary Satellite and Air Traffic Data”
We celebrate the publication of this journal paper on Trajectory Optimization and Climate Change led by Rémi Chevallier, industrial PhD student at ENAC – Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile supervised by Daniel Delahaye and Manuel Soler. Abstract Climate impact models of the non-CO2 emissions of aviation are still subject to significant uncertainties. Condensation trails, or contrails, are one of these non-CO2 effects.Continue reading “Latest paper: “Linear Contrails Detection, Tracking and Matching with Aircraft Using Geostationary Satellite and Air Traffic Data””
