    Aeolus-ESAs-Wind-Mission.pdf

    This brochure provides information on ADM-Aeolus, ESA's future Wind Mission and Earth Explorer. The Aeolus satellite will carry one large instrument - the atmospheric laser Doppler instrument Al~ADIN, which will probe the lowermost 30 km of the atmosphere from an orbit 400 km above the Earth's surface.
