it shows our mechanisms are in place to make sure that we have a safe launch out there in french guianab we can see on our screen at the moment. why is it important to measure the wind in space and what can we learn from it? winds are very important because they are one of the fundamental properties of the atmosphere that you need to measure in order to make weather forecasts. you need to know the temperature, pressure, wind and humidity and you also need to know the temperature of the surface and of the oceans. if you know these parameters you can actually make a forecast into the future of how the weather is changing. and the wind is actually being produced by temperature differences in the atmosphere and it is also driving our weather, so it's very important that we get the winds measured all over the globe from the ground up to high levels in the atmosphere in order to get the forecast right. is itjust about forecasting or are there questions you think you know the answer to which might change based on what you can learn? we are also going to learn scientific questions from aeolus,
