This pull request allows the user to calculate the contrail climate impact of a single flight. It does this by introducing the concept of a "base inventory". If
rel_to_baseis selected TRUE in the config file, then the input emission inventories are calculated on top of the base emission inventories. This is important due to non-linear saturation effects: on a climatological timescale, an aircraft flying alone in the atmosphere will have a larger contrail climate impact than one flying as part of a global air traffic scenario.Currently, the inventory and base inventory must align at least in the years defined by the inventory. I will explore whether this can be adapted for further flexibility in the future.
