Mathematical Background of Contrail Formation
Original language description
Condensation trail or simply contrail is an artificial cloud which forms behind aircraft and initially looks like a white strip. It may dissipate very quickly but it may also spread and persist for minutes or even couple of hours. The increase in cloudiness coverage has a negative impact on the climate because it changes the radiation balance of the Earth-atmosphere system. Contrails and contrail induced cloudiness cause mostly positive radiative forcing which tends to warm the atmosphere. This article is mainly focused on contrail formation. It explains the basic principle of contrail and contrail induced cloudiness formation and shows the possible way to calculate whether a contrail will or will not develop under given conditions. The paper briefly describes an ongoing contrail research carried out by the Czech Technical University in Prague as well. One part of the research is focused on ground-based contrail observation and measurement. Meteorological data which is necessary for contrail formation prediction are retrieved from aerological measurement. The aim of the whole research is to identify conditions under which it would be better to prevent contrail formation and subsequently define operations measures to avoid contrail formation.
