Life beyond re-entry: new Aeolus data a breath of fresh air
Aeolus data are still improving our understanding of weather and atmospheric science. In Spring 2024, the Aeolus data, science and innovation cluster (DISC) released a new public data update (Baseline 16), with a range of exciting new features.
Aeolus data and lessons learned: what happens next for ESA’s wind mission?
The Aeolus satellite returned to Earth on 28 July 2023, in an assisted reentry that marked the end of nearly five years in space. For scientists working with Aeolus data, however, the mission lives on.
Young scientists bid farewell to ESA's wind mission
Students and early career researchers are saying an emotional goodbye to Aeolus ahead of its upcoming reentry.
Overview of the Aeolus Level-1B wind product
Learn about the Aeolus Level-1B wind product, which supports applications for the weather, atmospheric processes and climate research, in our latest infographic.

The divine keeper of the winds retires
ESA’s fifth Earth Explorer - Aeolus - is due to retire soon, but will provide fully nominal data up to the end of operations on 30 April.
Improved Aeolus Rayleigh-cloudy winds product now available
An improved Aeolus product is now available: Rayleigh channel winds measured in atmospheric conditions with clouds and/or dense aerosol, known as Rayleigh-cloudy winds.
An overview of the Aeolus mission
In this overview video, ESA's mission manager, Tommaso Parrinello, describes the successes and challenges of this amazing mission, whose impacts will live long beyond its lifetime in space.

Improved Aeolus wind data now available
ESA’s Aeolus mission continues to advance weather forecasting with further data improvements, thanks to a third reprocessing campaign.
ESA invites scientists to submit abstracts for EGU 2023
ESA is calling for researchers to submit abstracts for sessions at the next General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU 2023).
The JATAC campaign - Supporting ESA's Aeolus mission
A new infographic has been released for the Joint Aeolus Tropical Atlantic Campaign (JATAC).
Aeolus Level 2C assisted wind fields resulting from NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) assimilation processing
The Level 2C wind product of the Aeolus mission provides ECMWF analysis horizontal wind vectors at the geolocations of assimilated L2B HLOS wind components. The L2C can therefore be described as an Aeolus-assisted horizontal wind vector product. The L2C is a distinct product, however the L2C and L2B share a common Earth Explorer file template, with the L2C being a superset of the L2B. The L2C consists of extra datasets appended to the L2B product with information which are relevant to the data assimilation of the L2B winds.
Drones join the campaign to validate Aeolus data
In June and September 2022, the Askos component of the Joint Aeolus Tropical Atlantic Campaign (JATAC), organised by ESA and its international partners, was expanded with new ground-based, drone and radiosonde measurements. The main objective of this campaign was to calibrate and validate Aeolus satellite observations.
