ECMWF have prepared L2B and L2C datasets for testing by the Aeolus CAL/VAL teams (in early 2017, based on L2Bp v2.30). These were prepared by running a realistic simulation of Aeolus using ECMWF model data (wind, temperature, pressure, cloud properties) as input to the Aeolus simulator (E2S) for the date 1/10/2015. The CAL/VAL rehearsal datasets (generated in 2017) are provided here:
- The Level-2B datasets (in Earth Explorer format) are here: ALD_U_N_2B.tar.gz
- Example of Aeolus L2B BUFR products are here: extracted_BUFR.tar.gz
- The Level-2C datasets (in Earth Explorer format) are here: ALD_U_N_2C_reprocessed.tar.gz

Update! |
Have regenerated the L2B data for L2Bp v3.00 (using L1B v7.01 file inputs):
- The input Level-1B Earth Explorer data:
- The auxiliary data used by the L2B processor:
- The Level-2B Earth Explorer data:
- The Level-2B report files: ALD_REP_2B.tar.gz
- The Level-2B BUFR data (one file per orbit): ALD_B_N_2B.tar.gz
- The extracted L2B BUFR (into 6 hourly chunks, as part of ECMWF pre-processing): extracted_BUFR.tar.gz
