Operated since the end of 2009, the European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and
Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission is the first orbiting radiometer that collects regular …

Advances in L-band microwave satellite radiometry in the past decade, pioneered by ESA's
SMOS and NASA's Aquarius and SMAP missions, have demonstrated an unprecedented …

Salinity observing satellites have the potential to monitor river fresh-water plumes
mesoscale spatio-temporal variations better than any other observing system. In the case of …

Abstract Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is an increasingly used Essential Ocean and Climate
Variable. The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Aquarius, and Soil Moisture Active …

Satellite measurements have largely improved sea surface salinity (SSS) observations in the
recent decade, including Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS), Aquarius/Satélite de …

Abstract The Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) was the first mission providing L-band
multi-angular brightness temperature (TB) at the global scale. However, radio frequency …

The freshwater input from rain to the surface ocean is a key component of the global water
cycle. Frequent rainfall in the inter‐tropical convergence zone creates regions of strong …

Strong variability in sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETPac) on
intraseasonal to interannual timescales was studied using data from the Soil Moisture and …

Sea surface salinity (SSS) is one of the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) as defined by
the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Acquiring high-quality SSS datasets with …

Recently two gridded sea surface salinity (SSS) products that cover the Arctic Ocean have
been derived from the European Space Agency (ESA)'s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity …
