Contrails: Visible Aviation Induced Climate Impact

TL;DR: Contrails are aircraft induced linear ice particle clouds, which persist and develop into contrail cirrus in ice-supersaturated air masses as mentioned in this paper, and the local warming induced by a contrail varies strongly relative to the global mean, depending on aircraft, route, solar and Earth-atmosphere parameters.

Air traffic simulation in chemistry-climate model EMAC 2.41: AirTraf 1.0

TL;DR: AirTraf (version 1.0) that performs global air traffic simulations, including effects of local weather conditions on the emissions is introduced and a large reduction in the number of function evaluations can be achieved with only a small decrease in the accuracy.

Potentials for reducing climate impact from tourism transport behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that emissions of greenhouse gases from tourism transport are rising globally, with air transport accounting for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Although travel is not likely to decrease drastically, people could tr...

Climate change 2007: the physical science basis

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.
