Numerical simulations of contrail-to-cirrus transition – Part 1: An extensive parametric study
Simulations of contrail-to-cirrus transition over up to 6 h were performed using a LES-model. The sensitivity of microphysical, optical and geometric contrail properties to relative humidity RH<sub><i>i</i></sub>, temperature <i>T...
