I do feel they are too frequent in my bit of sky , I mean why are these aircraft trailing the same section of sky ? 3 - 4 -5 days a week , then they disperse and widen and hang for hours .

It doesn't include RHI (Relative humidity with respect to Ice) which is a very important factor, but does have RH and temperature at altitude.
# convert RHw to RHi, as per

# But see cires.colorado.edu...
# ta = temperature of atmosphere, in Celsius
# p = pressure in hPa (hectopascals), which are the same as mb (millibars)
# note this is defined as accurate from -0C to -50C, but it's unclear how inaccurate it is
# at temperatures below -50C
def rhw2rhi(rh, ta, p)
e_sat_w_Ta = (1.0007 + 0.00000346 * p)*6.1121*Math.exp((17.966*ta)/(247.15+ta));
e_sat_i_Ta = (1.0003 + 0.00000418 * p)*6.1115*Math.exp((22.452*ta)/(272.55+ta));
return rh * (e_sat_w_Ta/e_sat_i_Ta);
end

Yesterday was a very bad day for them here in Gloucestershire. Not only that, some of them were going in circles.
