Life Cycle of Aircraft Contrails by Synergetic Use of Metop and Msg Observations
The objective of the project is to study the transformation of aircraft contrails into cirrus clouds, so-called contrail cirrus; to determine the lifetime of the contrail cirrus and the evolution of their optical properties; and thus, to quantify the complete life cycle of an aircraft contrail, from its formation to the final dissolution of the cirrus cloud. The formation of new cirrus clouds o...
متن کاملSurvey of Cirrus and atmospheric properties from TOVS Path-B: Natural variability and impact of air traffic on cirrus coverage
The TOVS Path-B data set provides atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles as well as cloud properties over the globe, from 1987 to 1995. Their relatively high spectral resolution yields reliable cirrus properties, day and night. First, we present average cirrus properties and their seasonal and diurnal variations. A reanalysis which will extend the present data set back to 1979 and up ...
متن کاملLaser transmission through thin cirrus clouds.
A near-infrared airborne-laser transmission model for thin cirrus clouds has been developed on the basis of the successive-order-of-scattering approach to account for multiple scattering by randomly and horizontally oriented ice crystals associated with an aircraft-target system. Direct transmission and transmission due to multiple scattering are formulated specifically for this geometric syste...
متن کاملUpper tropospheric water vapour and its interaction with cirrus clouds as seen from IAGOS long-term routine in situ observations.
IAGOS (In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System) performs long-term routine in situ observations of atmospheric chemical composition (O3, CO, NOx, NOy, CO2, CH4), water vapour, aerosols, clouds, and temperature on a global scale by operating compact instruments on board of passenger aircraft. The unique characteristics of the IAGOS data set originate from the global scale sampling on a...
