Using Saildrones to Validate Arctic Sea-Surface Salinity from the SMAP satellite and from Ocean Models ...
Abstract: The Arctic Ocean is one of the most important and challenging regions to observe. It is the region experiencing the largest changes from climate warming, and at the same time it is one of the most difficult to sample because of sea ice and extreme cold temperatures. Two NASA-sponsored depl...
