Civil aviation is fast-growing (about+ 5% every year), mainly driven by the developing
economies and globalisation. Its impact on the environment is heavily debated, particularly …

The knowledge of the lightning-induced nitrogen oxides (LNO x) source is important for
understanding and predicting the nitrogen oxides and ozone distributions in the troposphere …

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 …

The climate forcing of contrails and induced-cirrus cloudiness is thought to be comparable to
the cumulative impacts of aviation CO2 emissions. This paper estimates the impact of …

The nucleation and initial growth of ice crystals in cirrus clouds at low (< 235 K)
temperatures prevailing in the upper troposphere and in the tropopause region is …

In this paper we present simulations with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model to study
the intercontinental transport of pollution from North America during an aircraft measurement …

A large number of oxygenated organic chemicals (peroxyacyl nitrates, alkyl nitrates,
acetone, formaldehyde, methanol, methylhydroperoxide, acetic acid and formic acid) were …

Condensation trails (contrails) are aircraft induced cirrus clouds, which may persist and grow
to large cirrus cover in ice-supersaturated air, and may cause a warming of the atmosphere …

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 …

Non-CO2 aircraft emissions are responsible for the majority of aviation's climate impact,
however their precise effect is largely dependent on the environmental conditions of the …
