Mahnke, Christoph (author), Gomes, Rita (author), Bundke, Ulrich (author), Berg, Marcel (author), Ziereis, Helmut (author), Sharma, M. (author), Righi, Mattia (author), Hendricks, Johannes (author), Zahn, Andreas (author)The characteristics of aviation-induced aerosol, its processing, and effects on cirrus clouds and climate are still associated with large uncertainties. Properties of aviation-induced aerosol, however, are crucially needed for the assessment of aviation’s climate impacts today and in the future. We identified more than 1100 aircraft plume...journal article 2024

Thor, Robin N. (author), Mertens, M. (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Righi, Mattia (author), Hendricks, Johannes (author), Brinkop, Sabine (author), Graf, Phoebe (author), Grewe, V. (author), Jöckel, Patrick (author), Smith, Steven (author)We report on an inconsistency in the latitudinal distribution of aviation emissions between the data products of phases 5 and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Emissions in the CMIP6 data occur at higher latitudes than in the CMIP5 data for all scenarios, years, and emitted species. A comparative simulation with the...journal article 2023

(author), Hendricks, Johannes (author), Owen, Bethan (author), Pitari, Giovanni (author), Righi, Mattia (author), Skowron, Agnieszka (author)Aviation is seeking for ways to reduce its climate impact caused by CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and non-CO<sub>2</sub> effects. Operational measures which change overall flight altitude have the potential to reduce climate impact of individual effects, comprising CO<sub>2</sub> but in particular non-CO<sub>2</sub> effects. We study the impact of...journal article 2021
