| Abstract | Measurements of winds throughout the atmosphere are crucial for both numerical weather prediction NWP and climate studies. Nevertheless observations of height profiles of the global wind field are outstanding and profile measurements of wind are prioritized by WMO Expert Teams for global NWP. Recently the positive impact of airborne wind lidar observations from the Atlantic THORPEX Regional Campaign on numerical weather prediction was demonstrated. For the first time airborne wind lidar observations were assimilated into a global model at ECMWF. These results give further confidence in the importance of wind profile observations and support the high expectations on ESA s wind lidar mission ADMAeolus, which will be the first lidar mission to sense the global wind field from space. The results of the impact studies for airborne wind lidar observations on ECMWF model analyses and forecast skills will be presented. The conclusions from the assimilation experiments with real airborne observations add further confidence to the impact studies using simulated ADM-Aeolus wind lidar observations. The findings from these ADM-Aeolus impact studies will be discussed. |
