P Cyg profiles observed in CVs strongly suggest the existence of accretion disk winds in CVs. Recently, X-ray observations revealed bipolar outflows in supersoft X-ray sources. The wind velocity measured in these observations is about 3000-5000 km s−1, which is of the order of the escape velocity of white dwarfs. Hence, it is supposed that the winds would originate from the inner disk and/or the boundary layers between the disk and white dwarf. We examine radiatively-acclerated accretion-disk winds, and found that the terminal speed of the wind emanated from the inner region becomes ~ 0.6GM/rin, where M is the white dwarf mass and rin the inner radius of the disk.
