Non-CO2 aircraft emissions are responsible for the majority of aviation's climate impact,
however their precise effect is largely dependent on the environmental conditions of the …

There is large uncertainty in the radiative forcing induced by aircraft contrails, particularly
after they transform to cirrus. It has recently become possible to simulate contrail evolution …

The WeCare project (Utilizing We ather information for C lim a te efficient and eco efficient
futu re aviation), an internal project of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für …

Ultrafine particle number (UFPN) and size distributions, black carbon, and nitrogen dioxide
concentrations were measured downwind of two of the busiest airports in the world, Los …

Background and objectives In recent years it has been shown that aircraft emissions are a
dominant source of ultrafine particles in the surroundings of airports. However, health effects …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) have been employed to investigate the far-field four-vortex
wake vortex evolution over 10min behind an aircraft formation. In formation flight scenarios …

Large‐eddy simulations (LES) with Lagrangian ice microphysics were used to study the
early contrail evolution during the vortex phase. Microphysical and geometrical properties of …

Air traffic is important to our society and guarantees mobility especially for long distances. Air
traffic is also contributing to climate warming via emissions of CO2 and various non-CO2 …

Contrail–cirrus is probably the largest climate forcing from aviation. The evolution of contrail–
cirrus and its radiative impact depends not only on a multitude of atmospheric parameters …

The impact of aircraft type on contrail evolution is assessed using a large eddy simulation
model with Lagrangian ice microphysics. Six different aircraft ranging from the small regional …
