Dataset for the "contrail, or not contrail" paper

This folder contains the datasets associated with the paper: <b>Contrail, or not contrail, that is the question: the “feasibility” of climate-optimal routing</b>.All scripts and code are maintained separately at: https://github.com/junzis/contrail-or-notCheck the paper for more details: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.13907OverviewThe datasets provided here support the analysis in the paper on optimizing flight trajectories to reduce contrail formation. The data include:Meteorological cost grids (ARPEGE and ERA5)Flight trajectory data (raw and processed)Aircraft databaseIntermediate data and summary statisticsContentsThe data directory is structured as follows:`arpege/`: Meteorological data (ARPEGE model)`cache/`: Intermediate or cached data used in occupancy calculation`eu_flights_2022feb20_raw.parquet.gz`: Raw flight data for the day`eu_flights_2022feb20_filter_resample_meteo.parquet.gz`: Processed flights from raw data, filtered, resampled, and aggregated with meteorological data`grid_arpege_smoothed.parquet.gz`: Smoothed ARPEGE meteorological grid`grid_era5_smoothed.parquet.gz`: Smoothed ERA5 meteorological grid`aircraft_db.csv`: Aircraft database with ICAO address, aircraft type code, registration, and operator`europe_acc.txt`: European airspace/airport information`stats_results.csv`: Summary statistics and resultsUsageFor code and scripts, please refer to the main project repository: https://github.com/junzis/contrail-or-notDownload the data files and store them in the `data` directory of the project
