(2013) investigated the impact of exhaust emissions on contrail formation by introducing exhaust species into the NASA Particle Aerosol Laboratory (PAL) chamber facility.

Using a previously developed climate model that includes contrail cirrus clouds and an aviation emissions database developed by the U.S.

As the aviation industry is expanding, the contrails of airplanes are expected to contribute to global climate change significantly.

That 2.9 percent water vapor amounts to about five pounds of water per second poured into a contrail by a widebody aircraft.

The ML-CIRRUS experiment deployed the new research aircraft HALO together with satellites and models to gain neW insights into nucleation, life cycle, predictability, and climate impact of natural cirrus and anthropogenic contrail cirrus.

Thus, early explorations about contrail detection mainly exploit the visual examination to detect contrails in satellite images.

The theory first gained popularity in 1996 when the US Air Force was accused of spraying the population with mysterious substances from aircraft generating unusual contrail patterns.
