摘要：Air transport contributes with 2% of global emission to greenhouse effect. This situation aggravates the occurrence of meteorological phenomenon of Clear Air Turbulence (CAT). When an aircraft flies over a CAT area they increase the fuel consumption to adequate the speed and lift. Consuming more fuel aggravates the greenhouse effect. The objective of this paper is to quantify the emission of pollutants in the atmosphere, through the application of a conceptual and dynamic decision model for microscopic analysis of air traffic flow. The method consists of delimiting the CAT area, staggering flight parameters, and calculating CO2 emissions in normal conditions and with CAT. When there is CAT, there are two options: proceed in the same flight plan or make a route deviation to a lower altitude. The comparison between the conditions of flights with the presence of CAT, infers that changes to a lower altitude during the flights is viable, because there is a reduction in fuel consumption and hence in CO2 emissions.
