The Pollution From Aircraft Emissions in the North Atlantic Flight Corridor (POLINAT)
projects were undertaken to investigate the impact of aircraft engine exhaust emissions on …

During the 20th century, the world's transportation system has changed dramatically with the
gradual emergence of a large fleet of commercial aircraft. Today, thousands of aircraft carry …

The series of SULFUR experiments was performed to determine the aerosol particle and
contrail formation properties of aircraft exhaust plumes for different fuel sulfur contents (FSC …

A contrail (a term introduced for “condensation trail” in 1942 by British pilots) is a visible
cloud forming behind aircraft, mainly due to water vapor emissions from the engines …

The exhaust aerosol of two aircraft at cruise was extensively characterized in the size range
from 0.003 to 2 μm for plume ages≤ 2 s. The black carbon (BC) exhaust aerosol of an older …

Fully accounting for the climate impact of aviation requires a process-level understanding of
the impact of aircraft soot particle emissions on the formation of ice clouds. Assessing this …

Atmospheric ice formation in cirrus clouds is often initiated by aerosol particles that act as ice-
nucleating particles. The aerosol–cloud interactions of soot and associated feedbacks …

Aircraft sampling of residual particles from evaporated ice crystals was performed using a
Counterflow Virtual Impactor. Samples of crystals taken in both contrails and cirrus clouds …

Focussed aircraft measurements have been carried out over the eastern North Atlantic to
search for signals of air traffic emissions in the flight corridor region. Observations include …

This first interim assessment of the subsonic assessment (SASS) project attempts to
summarize concisely the status of our knowledge concerning the impacts of present and …
