Impacts of multi-layer overlap on contrail radiative forcing

Condensation trails ("contrails") which form behind aircraft are estimated to cause on the order of 50 % of the total climate forcing of aviation, matching the total impact of all accumulated aviation-attributable CO2. The climate impacts of these contrails are highly uncertain, in part du...
