Forecasting contrail climate forcing for flight planning and air traffic management applications: the CocipGrid model in pycontrails 0.51.0 by Z. Engberg, R. Teoh, T. Abbott, T. Dean, M. E. J. Stettler, M. L. Shapiro

“…Two approaches are proposed to apply these forecasts for contrail mitigation: (i) monetizing EF<span class="inline-formula">_contrail</span> and including it as an additional cost parameter within a flight trajectory optimizer or (ii) constructing polygons to avoid airspace volumes with strongly warming contrails. We also demonstrate a probabilistic formulation of the grid-based CoCiP by running it with ensemble meteorology and excluding grid cells with significant uncertainties in the simulated EF<span class="inline-formula">_contrail</span>. …”
