Long-term upper-troposphere climatology of potential contrail occurrence over the Paris area derived from radiosonde observations

<p>Condensations trails (or contrails) that form behind aircraft have been of climatic interest for many years; yet, their radiative forcing is still uncertain. A number of studies estimate the radiative impact of contrails to be similar to, or even larger than, that of <span class="in...
