Vapor Trails over Canada

One little victory in the life of a cloud—conditions were good for
contrail formation over eastern Canada on April 12, 2002. This true-color
Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) image reveals dozens of
long, linear clouds around Nova Scotia that were left behind by jets
flying between Europe and North America. (Rush hour flights leaving Europe
in the early morning would have been in this part of the world by early
afternoon when SeaWiFS was flying overhead.)
