The ADD-CROSS project addresses the importance of implementing the Aeolus missing cross-polar channel for future Doppler Wind Lidar (DWL) instruments in preparation at EUMETSAT. This will be achieved, by providing a reconstruction of Aeolus-like optical products (355 nm - w/wo cross-channel) based on CALIPSO and by assimilating the ADD-CROSS aerosol backscatter coefficient products in the ECMWF’s 4D-VAR system. The main expected outcomes include (1) quantification of the impact of the Aeolus missing cross-polar channel in NWP and (2) the effect of linear vs. circular emission configurations under different polarization scenarios.
