Climate impact mitigation potential of formation flight
Tobias Marks,Katrin Dahlmann,Volker Grewe,Volker Gollnick,Florian Linke,Sigrun Matthes,Eike Stumpf,Majed Swaid,Simon Unterstrasser,Hiroshi Yamashita,Clemens Zumegen +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interdisciplinary approach combining the fields of aerodynamics, aircraft operations and atmospheric physics is presented to assess the climate impact for a given air traffic scenario based on flight plan data and detailed trajectory calculations.

Assessing the climate impact of formation flights
Katrin Dahlmann,Sigrun Matthes,Hiroshi Yamashita,Simon Unterstrasser,Volker Grewe,Tobias Marks +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an operational measure that is inspired by migrant birds aiming toward the mitigation of aviation climate impact is to fly in aerodynamic formation, which can save fuel and is expected to reduce the climate impact of aviation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrails and their impact on shortwave radiation and photovoltaic power production - a regional model study
Simon Gruber,Simon Unterstrasser,Jan Bechtold,Heike Vogel,Martin Jung,Henry Pak,Bernhard Vogel +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution regional-scale numerical model was extended by a parameterization that allows for both the generation and the life cycle of contrails and contrail cirrus to be calculated.
Posted ContentDOI
Box model trajectory studies of contrail formation using a particle-based cloud microphysics scheme
TL;DR: In this article, the Lagrangian Cloud Module (LCM) box model is used to simulate the formation of liquid droplets that soon after freeze into ice crystals in a commercial aircraft.

On numerical broadening of particle size spectra: a condensational growth study using PyMPDATA
Michael Olesik,Sylwester Arabas,Jakub Banaśkiewicz,Piotr Bartman,Manuel Baumgartner,Simon Unterstrasser +5 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that, for the problem considered, even a tenfold decrease of the spurious numerical spectral broadening can be obtained by a proper choice of the MPDATA variant (maintaining the same spatial and temporal resolution).
