The report focused on the key scientific uncertainties associated with the impact of stratospheric aircraft. The top three uncertainties, in the opinion of the panel, were: · Dispersion characteristics of HSCT effluents in the lower stratosphere · Physical and chemical properties of stratospheric aerosols and PSC particles · The climate effects of the HSCT fleet.

(It does not, unfortunately, include progress reports on microphysical models and aerosol instrumentation, evaluation of the lessons learned from the Pinatubo cloud, or discussion of the applications of UARS and other satellite datasets and their assimilation into models, as the AESA panel had requested.) The present NRC Panel on Atmospheric Effects of Aviation (PAEAN)
