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