Dataset
Flight matched contrails in ground based camera imagery over London between November 2021 and April 2022
Abstract
This dataset provides aircraft flight path information and ground-based camera imagery to support the evaluation of models of contrail formation and persistence.
Camera imagery and corresponding flight path information were collected for 5 separate days where contrail formation was identified over London between November 2021 and April 2022, leading to 16 hours of observation. The camera observations were made every 5 seconds, looking to the East of Imperial College London (where the camera was based).
This dataset contains flight path telemetry data used to derive aircraft trajectories intersecting the camera's field of view.

| Data lineage: |
The camera data was collected as jpeg files, compressed to video on the device. Only days where contrails are observed are included in this dataset. The aircraft position data was collected by Spire Aviation as Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) transponder data. It was filtered to within ± 0.5° of all the contrails observed by the ground-based camera, above 10,000 feet, and cover the time periods where contrail observations are available. |
