|---|---|---|---|
| TN15.1 | Inventory of Aeolus Target Assimilation Systems | A questionnaire was sent to NWP users to determine their preferences for Aeolus winds | |
| TN15.2 | Aeolus observational requirements and the measurement grouping algorithm | The updated L2Bp algorithm in response to user needs | |
| TN15.3 | End-to-end testing of the continuous mode L2B processor | An assessment of the quality of L2B products derived from realistic simulations of Aeolus | |
| TN8.3 | Aeolus Level-2B processing of A2D airborne campaign data | The results from processing airborne campaign data with the L2Bp | |
TN17.3 | Testing the behaviour of wind retrievals with new E2S simulation options | ||
| TN16 | Advanced monitoring of Aeolus winds | This report assesses the ability to monitor Aeolus winds using ECMWF NWP data and suggests various methods for doing so. | |
| TN17.1 | Assessment of Level-2B wind errors resulting from realistic simulation of ISR/IRC/AUX_RB calibration chain | This report assesses the L2B HLOS wind systematic errors resulting from error processes that occur during calibration. | |
| TN17.4 | CCN6 results: further Chain-of-Processors testing of L2B results and testing of the CCN6 L2B processor algorithm updates | ||
| TN18.7 | An assessment of Aeolus wind observations with the ECMWF model and preliminary Observing System Experiments | This assesses the Aeolus data during the Commissioning Phase of the mission and hence is not representative of what is being achieved with the second laser. |
