Contrail formation within cirrus: ICON-LEM simulations of the impact of cirrus cloud properties on contrail formation

<p>Contrail formation within natural cirrus introduces large perturbations in cirrus ice crystal number concentrations, leading to modifications in cirrus microphysical and optical properties. The number of contrail ice crystals formed in an aircraft plume depends on the atmospheric state as w...
