Estimated contrail frequency and coverage over the contiguous United States from numerical weather prediction analyses and flight track data
Estimates of contrail frequency and coverage over the contiguous United States (CONUS) are developed using hourly meteorological analyses from the Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) numerical weather prediction model and commercial air traffic data for 2 months during 2001. The potential contrail frequency ov...
