Satellite Salinity Observing System: Recent Discoveries and the Way Forward

Two mappings of ocean temperature and salinity based on the CORA dataset measurements are calculated: a raw esti- mation (GOHCraw) that considers every measurement with- out taking

We analyze some of the possible causes for the differences between the various satellite SSS products by reprocessing the retrievals from Aquarius brightness temperatures changing

(2016) when com- paring SMAP SSS and HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) SSS at global scale. This is because SSS retrieval is of much better quality in warm regions and

The sampling difference between one-dimensional or punctual in-situ measurements and two- dimensional satellite products results in a sampling error that must be separated

Information on sea surface electrical properties (then related to salinity) is contained in the microwave emission captured by the SMOS instrument, MIRAS (Microwave

The Global Drifter Program deployed a total of 144 Lagrangian drifters drogued at 15 m depth, including 88 equipped with salinity sensors, in support of the first Salinity

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

Accurate but sparse in situ temperature and salinity profiles (mainly from Argo for the last 10 yr) are merged with the lower accuracy but high-resolution synthetic data derived
