The impacts of assimilating Aeolus horizontal line-of-sight winds on numerical predictions of Hurricane Ida (2021) and a mesoscale convective system over the Atlantic Ocean

The Aeolus satellite, the first spaceborne wind lidar launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on 22 August 2018, provides global measurements of horizontal line-of-sight (HLOS) winds.The assimilation of Aeolus HLOS winds has been proven to improve numerical weather predictions (NWPs).Still, its influences on forecasts of tropical cyclones (TCs)
