| Zusammenfassung |
| A method designed to track the life cycle of contrail-cirrus using satellite
data with high temporal and spatial resolution, from its formation to the
final dissolution of the aviation-induced cirrus cloud is presented. The
method follows the evolution of contrails from their linear stage until they
are undistinguishable from natural cirrus clouds. Therefore, the study of the
effect of aircraft-induced clouds in the atmosphere is no longer restricted
to linear contrails and can include contrail-cirrus. The method takes
advantage of the high spatial resolution of polar orbiting satellites and the
high temporal resolution of geostationary satellites to identify the pixels
that belong to an aviation induced cloud. The high spatial resolution data of
the MODIS sensor is used for contrail detection, and the high temporal
resolution of the SEVIRI sensor in the Rapid Scan mode is used for contrail
tracking. An example is included in which the method is applied to the study
of a long lived contrail over the bay of Biscay. |
