Contrail formation remains one of the least understood yet most climate-relevant impacts of aviation. Persistent contrails can evolve into cirrus-like clouds that significantly affect Earth’s radiative balance, but the physical mechanisms governing their formation particularly in the near-field region immediately downstream of aircraft engines remain poorly characterised. This fully funded PhD studentship is part of … Read more
