“…Other key focus areas of the ACCRI research included analysis and incorporation of results from detailed climate models into simplified models such as the Aviation Environmental Portfolio Management Tool (APMT; Mahashabde et al 2011) Both SO x and HC quickly condense to form sulfate and OC aerosols. In the absence of high space-time resolution microphysical models with a capability to evolve and transform gaseous emissions into aerosols within the engine vicinity, pseudoemission rates for sulfates and OC aerosols in terms of fuel burn and fuel sulfur content (for sulfate aerosols) were employed (Barrett For the year 2006, AEDT processed 31.3 million flights on a chorded basis for fuel burn and emissions.…”

Particles like sulfates generally have a cooling effect (negative RF) unless they coat soot particles, which exert warming effects. Note that BC particles are normally considered to be the main component of soot particles.Persistent linear contrails produced in the wake of aircraft contribute to net climate warming. Contrailinduced cirrus clouds (AIC) are also expected to affect the solar and terrestrial infrared radiative budget of the atmosphere, but t...

“…A challenge exists when the benefits are shared between multiple dependent programs, and then unique benefits of each (Steps 5a and b), as well as their integrated benefit, must be distinguished. , and newly-emerging environmental impact monetization techniques for quantifying climate damage costs, air quality health costs and noise-induced property value loss 8 . These monetized benefits can then be compared to the TFDM acquisition, deployment and maintenance costs (Step 6a) needed to undertake a full cost/benefit analysis (Step 6b).…”

This paper presents a benefits assessment methodology for an air traffic control tower advanced automation system called the Tower Flight Data Manager (TFDM), which is being considered for development by the FAA to support NextGen operations. The standard FAA benefits analysis methodology is described, together with how it has been tailored to the TFDM application to help inform the development process and the business case for system deployment. Parts of the methodology are illustrated through data analysis and modeling, and insights are presented to help prioritize TFDM capability development.
