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

Analysis of the hydrological regime of the Gulf of Ob in the freezing period using SMOS data

open access: yesРоссийская Арктика, 2022
The Gulf of Ob is a unique ecosystem characterized by a complex interaction of river and sea factors. It is exposed to extremely strong seasonal pressure of highly variable temperature, insolation, biogenic load and many other factors, including ...

Assimilation of semi-qualitative sea ice thickness data with the EnKF-SQ: a twin experiment

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2020
A newly introduced stochastic data assimilation method, the Ensemble Kalman Filter Semi-Qualitative (EnKF-SQ) is applied to a realistic coupled ice-ocean model of the Arctic, the TOPAZ4 configuration, in a twin experiment framework.

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

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 ...

Impact of day/night time land surface temperature in soil moisture disaggregation algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Since its launch in 2009, the ESA’s SMOS mission is providing global soil moisture (SM) maps at ~40 km, using the first L-band microwave radiometer on space.

Multi-temporal evaluation of soil moisture and land surface temperature dynamics using in situ and satellite observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Soil moisture (SM) is an important component of the Earth’s surface water balance and by extension the energy balance, regulating the land surface temperature (LST) and evapotranspiration (ET). Nowadays, there are two missions dedicated to monitoring the

Sensitivity of GNSS-R spaceborne observations to soil moisture and vegetation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Global navigation satellite systems-reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an emerging remote sensing technique that makes use of navigation signals as signals of opportunity in a multistatic radar configuration, with as many transmitters as navigation satellites are

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 ...
