ADM-Aeolus Level-2B Wind Retrieval Algorithms

摘要

The functionality of a baseline version of the ADM-Aeolus Level-2B processor has been demonstrated in terms of classification and wind retrieval. Future work will apply the algorithms to real data obtained from an airborne Aeolus-like instrument. Further refinement of the L2B processor will continue up to launch and beyond, in particular based on results from the commissioning phase immediately after launch. The L2B software is portable to a range of computing platforms, and will be made freely available to the meteorological community. Operational Aeolus products will be available from ESA/ESRIN.
