Contrail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Contrails (short for "condensation trails") or vapour trails are visible trails of condensed water vapour made by the exhaust of aircraft engines. As the hot exhaust gases cool in the surrounding a...

Satellite Product Tutorials: Aircraft Contrails Above: The contrail enhancement (right panel) reveals several linear features produced by condensation on jet fuel exhaust high in the atmosphere. Contrails form when warm, moist jet exhaust mixes with the cold and dry upper troposphere environment. Depending on the amount...

NASA scientists have found that cirrus clouds, formed by contrails from aircraft engine exhaust, are capable of increasing average surface temperatures enough to account for a warming trend in the United States that occurred between 1975 and 1994. According to Patrick Minnis, a senior research scientist at NASA’s...

Present commercial aircraft fly at altitudes of 8-13 km. The emissions from such air traffic can change the atmospheric composition: ... Contrails formed due to the emission of particles and water vapour can increase the cloud cover in the upper troposphere. This may result in a cooling or heating depending on the size...

Contrails become visible roughly about a wingspan distance behind the aircraft. Contrails can be formed by propeller or jet turbine powered aircraft. The contrails formed by the exhaust at high altitude are typically whicte and very similar to cirrus clouds.
