Functional architecture of the ground segment.

Functional architecture of the ground segment for ADM-Aeolus. The Atmospheric Dynamics Mission (ADM-Aeolus), one of ESA's Earth Explorer missions, will provide global observations of three-dimensional wind fields. These observations will enable a more detailed study of the balance and circulation of wind energy on Earth, hopefully leading to discoveries concerning phenomena such as El Niño and the Southern Oscillation
