Well after sixteen years of intensive planning a new satellite is about to be launched that will be a giant leap forward for weather forecasting the satellite. Named after the keeper of the winds of Ancient Greek Mythology is scheduled to be sent into orbit in just a few minutes from the European Space agencys South American launch pad in french guiana. This will be the first satellite to directly measure the earths winds at all all to tubes from the surface up to thirty kilometers wind currents play a major role in distributing heat around the planet. The currents and the rotation of the earth greatly affect Weather Patterns and theyre part of what makes the
blue planet habitable the satellite is carrying what the European Space agency calls one of the most sophisticated instruments ever to be put into orbit it consists of two powerful lasers a telescope and two receivers. The eolus will be hoisted to an orbit of Three Hundred Twenty kilometers from there it will measure global wins by beaming short light pulses towards earth some of that light will bounce off small particles like dust and droplets of water the satellite will collect and measure the light thats reflected. Until now meteorologists have only been able to piece together when state are using sources like Weather Balloons there are regions where little data has been collected like the Southern Hemisphere thats because a lot of it is covered with oceans making it difficult to measure. The eolus
mission aims to supply the missing data the satellite will complete an orbit around the earth every ninety minutes and deliver that state her to a site in norway the aim is to improve Weather Forecasts worldwide scientists also hope to gain valuable insights about the climate from the data the satellites and back complex Weather Patterns in the Equitorial Pacific will be one focus in particular the socalled el nino and la nina patterns phases of a cycle that involves Temperature Fluctuations between the ocean and the atmosphere. They can cost droughts and crop failures and affect the formation of hurricanes in central and North America.
