Emissions of NOx ' from aircraft influence global atnl0spheric composition, chemistry and ultimately our climate via tropospheric 0 3 production. They are increasing the global tropospheric concentration of NOx with continuing intensity as we fly more and more of us fly. Here, the 3-D Lagrangian CTM STOCHEM-CRI with the novel CRIv2- R5 chemistry scheme was used to evaluate the impact of current global , aircraft NOx emissions on atmospheric composition as well as the concentration and global spatial distribution of tropospheric NOx and 0 3 , Further, an operational mitigation strategy for commercial aircraft impact on air quality and climate referred to as the turBoprop replacement strategy (TRS) in which jets on short-haul missions were replaced with turboprops was investigated. These assessments were based on the 4-D Aircraft Fuel Burn and Emissions Inventory spanning the time period 2005-2011 created with the Aircraft Performance Model Implementation (APMI) software which was developed in support of this project.
