Webinar Series Part 20:
Contrails observations with cameras and satellites – from lab to airfield?
Contrails detection and observation has been a topic investigated by researchers since several years, but the development is reaching a new peak with the first commercial airlines interested in applying MET services capable of predicting the eco-sensitive areas, as well as monitoring their evolution in real time.
In this webinar, we’ll explore state-of-the-art technology for detecting and monitoring contrails, and showcase two different methods mastering the technical challenge of contrail identification and evaluation.
Topics discussed
- state-of-the-art methods for detecting and monitoring contrails and cirrus clouds
- using all-sky imagers as a way to observe and match contrails from the ground
- how satellite data and deep learning enable us to detect contrails amongst natural clouds
- the potential and limitations of technologies used for contrail avoidance
