A dataset of annotated ground-based images for the development of contrail detection algorithms.

ABSTRACT: All economic sectors must understand, measure and mitigate their contributions to climate change. The aviation sector is no exception and has to reduce its CO₂ emissions while also addressing its non-CO₂ effects which are responsible for a significant radiative impact on climate. The most important of these effects is due to the formation of contrails and their transformation into induced cirrus. Many studies have focused on detecting contrails onto satellite images because, taken together, meteorological geostationary and sun-synchronous satellites provide a good monitoring of the Earth's atmosphere, but unfortunately the spatial resolution and temporal sampling of such satellite images are often insufficient to detect contrails right after their formation and attrib
