Global aviation operations contribute to anthropogenic climate change via a complex set of
processes that lead to a net surface warming. Of importance are aviation emissions of …

Aviation alters the composition of the atmosphere globally and can thus drive climate
change and ozone depletion. The last major international assessment of these impacts was …

This study describes the methodology and results for calculating future global aviation
emissions of carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen from air traffic under four of the …

The atmospheric response to perturbations in NOx emissions from global air traffic is
investigated by performing a coherent set of sensitivity experiments. The importance of …

The present study provides a detailed assessment of the net impact of global flight altitude
changes on radiative forcing and temperature response. Changes in contrail coverage …

The atmospheric impact of aircraft NO x emissions are studied using updated aircraft
inventories for the year 2006, in order to estimate the photochemistry-related mitigation …

CONCERN about the environmental impacts of commercial aviation has grown over the past
few decades as the industry continues to expand. Recent attention has focused on limiting …

Nitrogen oxides emitted from aircraft engines alter the chemistry of the atmosphere,
perturbing the greenhouse gases methane (CH4) and ozone (O3). We quantify uncertainties …

Aviation emissions of NOx result in the formation of tropospheric ozone (warming) and
destruction of a small amount of methane (cooling), positive and negative radiative forcing …

Aircraft affect global climate through emissions of greenhouse gases and their precursors
and by altering cirrus cloudiness. Reductions in the net climate impacts of future aircraft may …
