Contrails..

One for the MET people... I've often wondered if the length of our a/c contrails would give an indication of stable or less stable atmospheric conditions. Logically it would seem that when our contrails are very short it might indicate a dry/stable air system... when long, maybe due to more moisture in the atmosphere and more likely an indication of less stable air... is there any relevance to this ?
