Simulating the global atmospheric response to aircraft water vapour emissions and contrails: a first approach using a GCM
The effect of contrails and aircraft water vapour emissions on global climate is studied by means of a general circulation model (GCM). In a first approach water vapour emissions and mean contrail coverage within the main flight routes are prescribed according to current observations in a simplified...
