The overall aim of ACACIA is to improve the scientific understanding of non-CO2 effects of aviation on climate (e.g., ozone and methane from NOx emissions, contrails, indirect aerosol effects). Non-CO2 effects may impact climate as much as aviation’s CO2 emissions, but those impacts are associated with large uncertainties.
The role of UNIVIE in ACACIA is the assessment of gaps in addressing the climate effects of aviation by field campaigns based on past experiments, and the development of concepts for future measurement campaigns.
