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. They are attributed to a stratification of the salinity in the first meters of the ocean surface following...
SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity), launched in November 2, 2009 is the first satellite mission addressing the salinity measurement from space through the use of MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis), a new two-dimensional interferometer designed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and operating at L-band. This paper presents a summary of the sea surface salinity retrieval...
