I did now update the wind field section in the AUG with an explicit statement that positive/negative v-winds in 1D correspond to tail/head winds, respectively (incl a reference to the AUG section Patrick pointed out).

Thanks for adding the clarification there, Patrick! However, the tricky part here (and on other occassions), particularly for people not that familiar with ARTS, is to know what to look for and where look for it specifically: for the 1D wind case, even with Patrick's clarification, the crucial point is/was join the information available in the wind_v_fields and the sensor_los/atm_dim documentation. I am not sure, if I had taken a look into the AUG regarding that matter that this would have included the atm dim (3.2) section. But, that's why the mailinglist is so great! there are people out there with better overview and better detail knowledge, who can answer questions or at least point one in a (better) direction where to look for. :) So thanks, Patrick & Richard (and everyone else contributing on other occassions) for your valuable feedback!
