Since we are performing one of the biggest experiments of modern history, the question becomes pertinent.
What is the effect on weather from so little flights?
Discounting all other environmental factors like the reduction of particulates in the atmosphere, 9/11 has shown that the reduction of contrails has an immediate effect on temperature with a difference of 2 degrees being measured.
The question now is, since a large number of planes are grounded all over the world what effects can be predicted or anticipated and how it will affect the weather short and long term???
9/11 saw flights grounded over the USA for 2 days and Canada for 3.
We have now most carriers with an at best minimal flight schedule for over a week and without end in sight.
So...Is there a meteorologist in the house?
