How Many Calories Is In Ham And Beans

Trails of 5 and 6 February 2011

Dopo alcuni mesi di digiuno, scorpacciata di scie d'aereo nel weekend a Milano grazie a un cielo senza copertura (smog a parte..), a temperature in quota molto basse (punte di quasi -68°C) e ad un traffico aereo discretamente sostenuto.
Sabato la giornata è stata caratterizzata da scie di breve durata, domenica da scie di più lunga durata. Tale differenza può essere spiegata tentativamente sulla base dei valori di umidità relativa alle tipiche quote di volo registrati domenica, sensibilmente più alti di quelli di sabato (riporto in fondo all'articolo, per chi fosse interessato, la consueta analisi dei dati atmosferici per entrambe le days).
In the days alternated periods of relative quiet, with few passages of aircraft wake, at times with multiple steps. On average I have observed and identified in each day, between 11:00 and 17:30 approximately forty aircraft wake in flight between 10000 to 12500 meters.
I took a series of photographs with aircraft wake using a SLR camera lens and a Newtonian telescope as well as identification of equipment on the site Flightradar24.com.

Analysis of atmospheric data

very low temperatures at high altitude on both days, with net conditions for the formation of contrails. Relative humidity higher in the day on Sunday, with a value close to saturation on ice at 10,668 m (after correction Miloshevich). This difference in relative humidity might explain the longer duration of contrails on Sunday than on Saturday (compare the graphs relative humidity and temperature of the two days).
We see the charts.
