The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will convene a committee to develop a national research agenda to understand better, quantify, and support the development of technical and operational solutions to significantly reduce the global climate impact of aviation-induced cloudiness (AIC) and persistent contrails (PC) from commercial aviation. The research agenda will comprise a prioritized set of scientific recommendations and research projects critical to the national and international commercial aviation and scientific research communities. It will include a review of advances in measurements, modeling, technology, fuel sensitivities, and recent approaches for evaluating tradeoffs.
