AB - <jats:p>Aircraft are a growing proportion of the human forcing of the climate system, with the majority of their warming effect coming from their impact on clouds. Accurate modelling of these impacts is essential for guiding climate mitigation choices, but there are limited observations available to evaluate the capability of these models.  Matching aircraft tracks to data from a cloud radar, an array of ground-based cameras and satellite observations, the Contrail OBservations And Lifecycle Tracking (COBALT) project is constructing an evaluation dataset for models of contrails and aircraft impacts on existing cloud.                                                                                                                                                            Here we present the design of the COBALT observations, along with initial results for data collected over the southern UK in late 2024/early 2025.
