Contrail Research Dataset
Where do flight activity, aviation weather, atmospheric context, corridor volume, and contrail visual evidence overlap?
Aviation-weather evidence for contrail research

Prepared for RAG, model features, APIs, and governed delivery.
This is not a raw source dump. The package is structured, enriched, documented, and delivered with the files and metadata data teams need before moving it into production systems.
Rows are normalized around airport/corridor + observation time/year + source stream + measured atmospheric, aviation, traffic, or imagery field, with stable fields, source context, and reusable identifiers.
The package includes retrieval-ready JSONL with source text, metadata, geography, reporting period, and limitation context.
Feature tables expose documented fields such as record_id, date, location, source_stream, published_value, source_url for analytics and workflow integration without publishing DeepWave scoring recipes.
Schema, package manifest, data-quality records, source lineage, refresh cadence, and export files travel with the dataset.
Corridor-time records built from multiple aviation and weather sources.
In the paid export package, the primary file is contrail_integrated_observations.csv. Each full-package row packages aviation, weather, atmospheric, traffic, and visual-reference evidence into one corridor/time-window record with source families, quality, and limits. Public preview copy withholds the scoring recipe.

Preview of contrail_integrated_observations.csv
This table shows 10 capped preview rows from contrail_integrated_observations.csv. It is a preview of the export shape and sample records, not the full primary dataset file. Purchase unlocks the complete CSV/JSON package, source references, quality table, package manifest, and export-ready records. Public preview text intentionally withholds DeepWave scoring recipes.

What this dataset should not be used for
claiming a contrail was observed from a flight track alone; the dataset separates flight/weather context from visual evidence
