The diurnal cycle of aviation in the North Atlantic Region (NAR; 45° W – 10° W, 45° N – 55° N) shows a unique fingerprint dominated by two maxima due to rush-hours in west-bound resp. eastbound air traffic. We investigate the hypothesis that this signature can be found also in the diurnal cycle of c...
