Overview of the SMOS Sea Surface Salinity Prototype Processor [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2008
The L-band interferometric radiometer onboard the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission will measure polarized brightness temperatures (Tb). The measurements are affected by strong radiometric noise. However, during a satellite overpass, numerous measurements are acquired at various incidence angles at the same location on the Earth's surface.

Evaluation of Aquarius Sea Surface Salinity With Argo Sea Surface Salinity in the Tropical Indian Ocean

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2015
The performance of sea surface salinity (SSS) obtained from the Aquarius satellite is evaluated. Daily, weekly, and monthly Aquarius SSS data between September 2011 and August 2013 from the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) are compared with the surface most salinity observations ( 0.6) was observed everywhere, except the coast of Oman, western equatorial ...

Salinity of surface waters in the Aral Sea region

International Journal of Salt Lake Research, 1999
An overview of recent changes insalinity in the surface waters of the Aral sea basinis given. Total dissolved salts (salinity) in mostwaters are higher than admissible values fordrinking water, and ionic composition has changed withtime. Salinity of the `Big Sea' of the Aral was 48g L−1 in 1998, but has decreased to below 21g L−1 in the `Small Sea' due

The JPL Smap Sea Surface Salinity Algorithm

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission was launched January 31st, 2015. It is designed to measure the soil moisture over land using a combined active / passive L-band system. Due to the Aquarius mission, L-band model functions for ocean winds and salinity are already mature and have been directly applied to the SMAP mission.

Sea surface salinity as measured by SMOS and by surface autonomous drifters

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2012
The sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieved from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission are systematically lower than ARGO SSS in rainy regions. These freshenings increase (in absolute value) with increasing SSM/I rain rates (−0.2psu/mm/hr) closely collocated in time with SMOS SSS.

The SMOS L3 Mapping Algorithm for Sea Surface Salinity

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2011
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission launched in November 2009 will provide, for the first time, satellite observations of sea surface salinity (SSS). At level 3 (L3) of the SMOS processing chain, the large amount of SSS data obtained by the satellite will be summarized in gridded products with the aim of synthesizing the information and

Impact of sea surface temperature on satellite retrieval of sea surface salinity

SPIE Proceedings, 2016
Currently, global sea surface salinity (SSS) can be retrieved by the satellite microwave radiometer onboard the satellite, such as the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity(SMOS) and the Aqurius. SMOS is an Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission from the European Space Agency(ESA).
