2000 days of SMOS at the Barcelona Expert Centre: a tribute to the work of Jordi Font
Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) is the first satellite mission capable of measuring sea surface salinity and soil moisture from space. Its novel instrument (the L-band radiometer MIRAS) has required the development of new algorithms to process SMOS data, a challenging task due to many proces...
