Doppler Wind Lidar Research Activities
KNMI is actively involved in several projects for mission support in preparation for launch. These include
  • Instrument simulation
  • Definition of instrument calibration and sampling strategies
  • Impact simulation experiments in numerical weather prediction models, including extreme weather events
  • Building and testing the ground processing software
  • Preparation for Calibration/Validation campaigns
  • Definition of future (post-ADM-Aeolus) Doppler wind lidar satellites

In addition we participate actively in an international network for collaborative numerical weather prediction observing system impact experiments, the so-called joint-OSSE.
