Description

Based on flight trajectory, create a model of where a contrail "might be" based on advection.

We'd have to make assumptions about spreading and sedimentation, but these could be model parameters.

Alternatives

Additional context

I think the team at Google may have already implemented a model like this as their "baseline"
This could be baseline for a slight more nuanced model that takes into account SAC and ISSR
