8.3.2. Ambient Factors<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r reports in this collection<br />

In <strong>the</strong> past decade, discussions of daylight flying restrictions <strong>and</strong> on <strong>the</strong> potential sensitivity to aviation emissions of specific geographical areas <strong>and</strong> flight levels have<br />

resulted in research into consequences for <strong>the</strong> aviation transportation system of avoiding <strong>the</strong>se areas (Fransen <strong>and</strong> Peper, 1993; ICAO, 1995; Sausen et al., 1996).<br />

Chapters 2, 3, <strong>and</strong> 6 of this report describe evolving knowledge on <strong>the</strong> possible atmospheric effects of <strong>the</strong>se issues. In general, this scientific assessment is unable to<br />

make clear-cut recommendations regarding possible reductions in adverse environmental impacts that might be achieved with such flight restrictions. The description<br />

in this section is confined to consequences for <strong>the</strong> aviation transportation system.<br />
