About

The purpose of this study is to help estimate the individual impacts of current Aeolus observations and future EPS-Aeolus-like observations on NWP. This goal has been achieved by incorporating NOAA OSSE simulations of both Aeolus and EPS-Aeolus, which have been generated by KNMI using the Lidar In-space Performance Analysis System (LIPAS; Marseille et al., 2003, 2011) tool.
