| Aug 15, 2019 at 19:33 | comment | added | rchuso | You have to make a distinction between the Troposphere and the Stratosphere. The Troposphere is well mixed, and any CO2 from aircraft will be rapidly mixed and have no impact to "layers" in the Troposphere. The Stratosphere, on the other hand, is relatively highly stratified (hence the name), and aircraft flying there (common for long distance flights, and to get above thunderstorms) will leave CO2 in that layer, where it will stay for a longer period. So perhaps you are thinking of emissions in the Stratosphere? | |
