摘要
Application is made of the Hanson and Hanson algorithm for contrail production to predict the presence of a contrail (condensation trail) by jet aircraft. Two databases are utilized, one based on the contiguous 48 states and the second centered on flights in Alaska. Verification is obtained for the validity of this algorithm. The concept of a contrail window is introduced to aid in the interpretation of the results obtained from the calculation.
