Contrail Radiative Forcing

Contrail Radiative Forcing is a radiative forcing metric that quantifies the net imbalance in atmospheric energy flux at the top of the atmosphere caused by the formation of persistent condensation trails from aircraft, distinguished by its specific attribution to the optical properties and coverage of anthropogenic ice clouds generated by aviation activities.
