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

We present estimates of whitecap coverage on a global scale from satellite‐measured
brightness temperature of the ocean surface. This is a first step in a larger framework aiming …

Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity, European Space Agency, is the first satellite mission
addressing the challenge of measuring sea surface salinity from space. It uses an L-band …

In an Oceanography article published 13 years ago, three of us identified salinity
measurement from satellites as the next ocean remote-sensing challenge. We argued that …

Aquarius is a combined passive/active L-band microwave instrument that is being
developed to map the salinity field at the surface of the ocean from space. The data will …

In the past years, the scientific community has placed a special interest in remotely sensing
soil moisture and vegetation parameters. Radiometry and radar techniques have been …

Aquarius is an L-band radiometer and scatterometer instrument combination designed to
map the salinity field at the surface of the ocean from space. The instrument is designed to …

The L-band passive and active microwave geophysical model functions (GMFs) of ocean
surface winds from the Aquarius data are derived. The matchups of Aquarius data with the …

This paper presents an assessment of the correlation between CyGNSS-derived global
navigation satellite systems reflectometry (GNSS-R) bistatic reflectivity, Γ rl, and soil moisture …

The European Space Agency Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission aims at
obtaining global maps of soil moisture and sea surface salinity from space for large-scale …
