Although weather forecasting has advanced considerably in
recent years, meteorologists still need reliable wind-profile data
to further improve the accuracy of forecasts. ESA's wind mission,
ADM-Aeolus, aims to demonstrate that measuring global wind
profiles from space, using laser technology, can meet this
requirement.
Due for launch in June 2009, ADM-Aeolus (or just 'Aeolus'), is the
fourth Earth Explorer mission to be developed within ESA's Living
Planet Programme. Aeolus will be the first-ever satellite to directly
observe wind profiles from space. Named after Aeolus, who in
Greek mythology was appointed 'keeper of the winds' by the
Gods, this mission will provide much-needed data to improve the
quality of weather forecasts as well as contribute to long-term
climate research.

The Aeolus Flight Operations Control Centre (FOCC; also referred
to as Mission Operations Control Centre) is being established at
ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany.
