TL;DR: The SMOS satellite was launched successfully on November 2, 2009, and will achieve an unprecedented maximum spatial resolution of 50 km at L-band over land (43 km on average over the field of view), providing multiangular dual polarized (or fully polarized) brightness temperatures over the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
SMOS: The Challenging Sea Surface Salinity Measurement From Space
Jordi Font,Adriano Camps,Andrés Borges,Manuel Martin-Neira,Jacqueline Boutin,Nicolas Reul,Yann Kerr,Achim Hahne,Susanne Mecklenburg +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, an L-band microwave interferometric radiometer with aperture synthesis (MIRAS) is used to generate brightness temperature images, from which both geophysical variables are computed.
Journal ArticleDOI
SMOS: The Payload
TL;DR: The Microwave Interferometric Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) synthesizes a large aperture from a reasonably sized 2-D array of passive microwave radiometers by using interferometric techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
The PARIS concept: an experimental demonstration of sea surface altimetry using GPS reflected signals
TL;DR: The paper describes an original experiment on sea surface altimetry using GPS-reflected signals and demonstrates the potential of the PARIS concept for long term ocean altimetric observations in view of the current trends of the GNSS systems.
