How does AI help with contrails?
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is being used to predict where and when contrails are most likely to form. By analysing vast amounts of data like satellite images, weather forecasts, and flight paths, Google's AI can identify specific atmospheric conditions that lead to persistent, warming contrails, allowing airlines like Cathay Pacific to adjust flight routes.
