Objectives

Contrails and increased cloudiness caused by aviation can trap heat and lead to a net warming effect on our planet. However their impact on climate can depend on weather, regional and seasonal variations. The project will blend cutting-edge AI techniques and climate science to better predict and understand the non-CO2 impact of aviation on global warming and reduce uncertainties as an essential step towards greener aviation.
