First evaluation of the SMOS observations over the VAS site: comparing different retrieval approaches

This result shows that the SCA-H algorithm, based on observations for one angle and one polarization and additional information from MODIS, can provide results very

Parameterisation and calibration of L-MEB in the Level-2 SMOS algorithm.. Jean-Pierre Wigneron,

The campaign gathered data to further investigate/validate the L-band emission model over prairies and crops which will be used by the SMOS Level 2 processor, to assess

Parameterization of the emissivity of forests at L-band (L-MEB in the Level-2 SMOS algorithm).. Jean-Pierre Wigneron, Arnaud Mialon, Jennifer Grant,

withFRAC i the geometric fraction at the node corresponding to the local surface cover of site i, Mean_WEF(ρ) i the mean footprint value at distance ρ from the node

SMOS and ASCAT SSM products were com- pared with the simulations of the ISBA-A-gs model and with in situ measurements from the SMOSMANIA network, in- cluding 21 stations located

Concerning multi-looking of successive burst, in some cases (over the East-West glacial valley), successive pulses track different areas (figure 5). This is due to abrupt changes in
