abstract = {An off‐line complex representation of the radiative
forcing of linear contrails is applied for the first time to
monthly mean 3‐D distributions. This representation
assumes the same temperature‐dependent, spatially and
time‐varying functions of ice water content and particle
size for contrails as for natural cirrus. This complex
representation is contrasted with more commonly used
simplified setups in which fixed contrail optical depth
values [0.1 to 0.3] are prescribed and from which the
results show differences covering a factor of 3 assuming
fixed or variable contrail layer altitudes. This prescribed
range of representative fixed altitudes resulted in
differences covering a factor of 2 when the optical depth
was also fixed. Prescribing fixed particle sizes also
resulted in differences covering a factor of 2 if altitude
and optical depth are also fixed. In contrast, the inclusion
of the dependence of the contrail ice water content on
temperature produced differences of around $20\%$ or less
when assuming the same ranges of altitudes and ice particle
sizes, resulting in a much improved confidence in the
radiative forcing estimates and more accurate spatial and
temporal representations of the radiative interaction
between contrails and the background meteorology. Assuming a
contrail vertical extent of 500 m, a 9 mW m−2 annual mean
contrail radiative forcing is estimated, with an uncertainty
range between 1 and 23 mW m−2 based on the ice water
content's observed variability.},
