DLR: cleaner aircraft emissions reduce the climate impact of contrail cirrus

Green Car Congress

Impact of a reduction in initial ice crystal number, as may be caused by reduced soot emissions, on global contrail cirrus properties. Aircraft engines emit soot particles which act as condensation nuclei for small, supercooled raindrops that freeze immediately to form ice crystals that are visible in the sky as contrails.
