In this study, we compared the performance of global low-resolution CTMs with high-resolution nested simulations for estimating O₃ and PM_2.5 concentrations. The models were validated against observational data to determine their accuracy across different spatial scales and to evaluate their suitability for future scenario assessments. Our findings demonstrate that while the nested-grid simulations improved the reproducibility of regional observations, especially in areas with complex topography or localized emissions, the overall global-scale performance of the model did not significantly benefit from higher resolution. Additionally, the differences in global health and agricultural impacts between low- and high-resolution simulations were minor and within the range of uncertainty typically associated with emission inventories and CTMs. However, for specific regional studies or policy applications, higher resolution may offer improved accuracy.

Within various options, H₂ based propulsion is one of the most promising candidates, at least for regional and short haul routes. However, despite the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions to zero, those aircraft can still have a significant climate impact due to increased contrail formation caused by higher water emission when using H₂ as a propellant. In order to understand potential changes in the climate impact of H₂ powered air traffic, it is crucial to evaluate how the potential for contrail formation and the potential contrail cirrus cover would change under representative atmospheric conditions. To this end, we developed a tool which uses several years of meteorological reanalysis data (ERA-5 and MERRA-2) in combination with contrail formation conditions adjusted to H₂ gas turbine and H₂ Fuel Cell propulsion in order to investigate their regional and seasonal variation. Contrail formation conditions for three different propulsion settings (kerosene gas turbine, H₂ gas turbine and H₂ fuel cell) are calculated to obtain global statistics of potential contrail cover and potential contrail cirrus cover over 12 years. For H₂ based propulsion contrails are more likely to form due to the increased water vapor emission. However, this does not necessarily translate into the climatically relevant potential for contrail cirrus formation. Focusing on three hot spots of regional air traffic, we find that the difference between kerosene and H₂ scenarios has a strong systematic dependency on season, altitude and latitude. Maximum differences in potential contrail cirrus cover are found in the transition region from typically no-contrail to contrail forming conditions at a potential contrail cover around 50%. In contrast, less to no difference in potential contrail cirrus cover is found at very high (close to 100%) or rather low potential contrail cover. This study demonstrates, that the question whether H₂ powered air traffic produces more climate relevant contrail cirrus can not be parameterized by a simple factor but rather strongly depends on the propulsion type, season, region and flight altitude.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37150,"journal":{"name":"Atmospheric Environment: X","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100298"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142424953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
