Title: Impact of Aeolus on windspeed measurements

Description: Wind speed differences in Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) 18 h forecasts ("w" and "w/o" Aeolus assimilation in Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) initial state) against the corresponding IFS analyses. Upper panel: Horizontal wind speed differences at 300 hPa (~ 9.6 km) WRF-IFS control run. Lower panel: Horizontal wind speed differences at 300 hPa (~ 9.6 km) WRF-IFS with assimilated Aeolus wind fields; the arrows in both panels are horizontal wind speed components WRF (green) and IFS (black).
