LOCEAN, LOPS, AARI and ACRI-ST have derived improved SMOS SSS maps over the Arctic Ocean based on new SST corrections and new sea ice filtering applied to SSS retrieved from SMOS satellite measurements. The first version of level 3 (L3) SMOS ARCTIC SSS (weekly and monthly) covers a period from June 2010 to November 2019 above 60°North. The dataset is derived using uncorrected SSS from ESA SMOS SSS v662 level 2 (L2, https://smos.argans.co.uk/docs/deliverables/delivered/ATBD/SO-TN-ARG-GS-0007_L2OS-ATBD_v3.13_160429.pdf). SSS values are reprojected in an Equal-Scalable Earth Grid 2 (EASE, https://nsidc.org/data/ease) with a Northern Hemisphere Azimuthal projection and a resolution of 25km. REMSS Microwave+Infrared Sea Surface Temperature (SST) optimal interpolation product (http://www.remss.com/measurements/sea-surface-temperature/oisst-description/) is used in order to correct SST related biases. 7-day moving averages of SMOS ESA L2 parameters are produced each day for L3 SSS weekly product.
