Validating Dynamic Sectorization for Air Traffic Control Due to Climate Sensitive Areas: Designing Effective Air Traffic Control Strategies

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-objective optimization system analyzes the traffic flow over time and determines suitable time-dependent sectorizations, which is integrated into a radar display as part of a working environment for air traffic controllers.

The CO 2 and non- CO 2 climate effects of individual flights: simplified estimation of CO 2 equivalent emission factors

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented a method for the simplified calculation of CO 2 equivalent emissions, expressed using the physical climate metrics ATR100 or AGWP100, from CO 2 and non-CO 2 effects for a given flight, exclusively based on the aircraft seat category as well as the origin and destination airports.
