Aircraft leave vapour trails which aid in the reflection of

A study of the no-fly period following 9/11 showed a full extra degree
(Celsius) of cooling over the US during those four days, apparently due to
the lack of contrail vapor, which contributes to the cirrus cloud layer that
reflects nighttime longwave radiation back to earth.


Can you cite a source for this report showing the entire US dropped
exactly one degree Celsius and that was directly attributable to the
reduction in aircraft?
