Abstract
Disclosed is a method for determining an atmospheric radiative forcing difference by optimising or preventing contrail formation caused by an aircraft. The method comprises receiving one or more weather parameters to determine contrail forecast data; receiving one or more flight parameters associated with aircraft to determine flight data; determining tentative atmospheric radiative forcing quantity, along tentative flight trajectory, based on contrail forecast data and flight data; altering one or more flight parameters to determine optimised flight trajectory having optimum atmospheric radiative forcing quantity, wherein optimised flight trajectory is validated using imagery data; and determining an atmospheric radiative forcing difference to evaluate offset value for at least one forcing parameter associated with atmospheric radiative forcing difference. Disclosed also is an apparatus for determining atmospheric radiative forcing caused by aircraft by optimising or preventing contrail formation. Further, disclosed is computer program product to carry out aforementioned method.
