Aeolus satellite is orbiting around planet very fast, twice a day. We have to be ready when overpass our location or in vicinty where is still reachable for our Advantic.
On Fridays satellite orbit just above Sao Vicente where is our base airport. In the morning our friends from other reserach groups and Mr. Thorsten cheaf project manager from ESA visited us on the airport. Grisa explained them how instruments are working and how we collect data. In the evening we took-off in north direction along the satellite track. German DLR and French Falcons took-off from Sal to join coordinated flights at different altitudes above Mindelo where two ground lidars shooting up to the sky. In next days some bad weather is predicted, so we will decide later where and how we will proceed with research.
