Relationship between synoptic scale meteorology, aircraft parameters, and observable contrails by Barbosa, Maria Paula

“…All algorithms rely on the use of "similarity measures" which we define as the differences in distance, heading, and altitude between a contrail and flight line segment candidates. We define two-dimensional (2D) algorithms as those that use only distance and heading difference measures and the ones that additionally include altitude as three-dimensional (3D) algorithms. …”
