اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is an innovative Earth Observation satellite launched on November 2009 to remotely sense soil moisture over land and sea surface salinity over the oceans [1,2]. Due to some limitations with the processing technology, SMOS SSS maps still displayed significant artifacts and biases that until now prevented to retrieve SSS in the Mediterranean. In this work new techniques (calibration techniques [3]; image reconstruction methods [4, 5]; SSS retrieval algorithms [6]; and fusion schemes [7]) have been applied, allowing us to compute SMOS SSS maps in the Mediterranean for the first time. In this work we present these new SMOS SSS maps and we provide an assessment of their quality by means of their comparison with Argo buoys and SSS measurements obtained in several campaigns [8]
