Contrails generate a substantial amount of global warming. We've released a dataset for detecting contrails in satellite images, with benchmarks applying convolutional networks.

OpenContrails: Benchmarking Contrail Detection on GOES-16 ABI

Contrails (condensation trails) are line-shaped ice clouds caused by aircraft and are likely the largest contributor of aviation-induced climate change. Contrail avoidance is potentially an inexpensive way to significantly reduce the climate impact of aviation. An automated contrail detection system is an essential tool to develop and evaluate contrail avoidance systems. In this paper, we present a human-labeled dataset named OpenContrails to train and evaluate contrail detection models based on

@Riedl oh RecSys is in Bari! You may want to try Monopoli which is only a 30 minute train ride away.
