In early 2017 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

Updated datasets:
We have regenerated the L2B data (in 2018) with the most recent processing chain: E2S v4.01, L1B v7.01 and L2B v3.00.
