Winds measured by lidar from the Aeolus satellite are compared with winds measured by two ground-based radars – MARA in Antarctica (70.77 ∘ S, 11.73 ∘ E) and ESRAD (67.88 ∘ N, 21.10 ∘ E) in Arctic Sweden – for the period 1 July–31 December 2019. Aeolus is a demonstrator mission to test whether winds...
