ADM-Aeolus different parts of the world, "Aeolus" will allow scientists to build complex weather models, which can then be used to help predict how that environment will behave in the future. These predictions will be useful in the short-term, since they can be applied to Numerical Weather Prediction in order to make forecasts more accurate. The mission will thus improve the knowledge of all sorts of weather phenomena, from global warming to the effects of air pollution. Aeolus is seen as a mission that will pave the way for future operational meteorological satellites dedicated to study Earth's wind profiles. The spacecraft
Minyas (mythology) Minyas (mythology) In Greek mythology, Minyas (; Ancient Greek: Μινύας) was the founder of Orchomenus, Boeotia. As the ancestor of the Minyans, a number of Boeotian genealogies lead back to him, according to the classicist H.J. Rose. Accounts vary as to his own parentage: one source states that he was thought to be the son of Orchomenus and Hermippe, his real father being Poseidon; in another account he is called son of Poseidon and Callirhoe; yet others variously give his father as Chryses (son of Poseidon and Chrysogeneia, daughter of Almus), Eteocles, Aeolus, Ares, Aleus, Sisyphus and Halmus (Almus).
