SMOS-IC: An Alternative SMOS Soil Moisture and Vegetation Optical Depth Product

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
The main goal of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission over land surfaces is the production of global maps of soil moisture (SM) and vegetation optical depth (τ) based on multi-angular brightness temperature (TB) measurements at L-band. The

A new space technology for ocean observation: the SMOS mission

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2012
Capability for sea surface salinity observation was an important gap in ocean remote sensing in the last few decades of the 20th century. New technological developments during the 1990s at the European Space Agency led to the proposal of SMOS (Soil ...

Differences between Two Methods to Stabilize Supramalleolar Osteotomies in Children—A Retrospective Case Series

open access: yesChildren, 2021
Supramalleolar osteotomy (SMO) in pediatric patients can be fixed in various ways. We analyzed the records of 77 pediatric patients (124 SMOs) aged ≤16 years. In 56 patients (96 SMOs), K-wires were used to stabilize SMOs (WF group), while 21 patients (28

Estimating Gravimetric Water Content of a Winter Wheat Field from L-Band Vegetation Optical Depth

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
A considerable amount of water is stored in vegetation, especially in regions with high precipitation rates. Knowledge of the vegetation water status is essential to monitor changes in ecosystem health and to assess the vegetation influence on the water ...
