Detection of Contrails Large contrails can be detected in VIS, IR and WV channels,and also in differences like IR3.9-IR10.8 and IR8.7-IR10.8,but they appear most clearly in: • HRV: straight white lines (if no low-level clouds) or dark lines (shadow on lower clouds) • IR12.0 - IR10.8: dark lines • RGB HRV/HRV/IR12.0-IR10.8: straight yellow lines over blueish clear ground • RGB IR12.0-IR10.8 / IR10.8-IR8.7 / IR10.8: dark blue lines Contrails can be best observed from MSGin the early morning or late afternoon in the visible channels(low sun angle and shadows help)
